Natural Gas Leak Prompts the Evacution of a Dallas Fire Station

Dallas (WBAP/KLIF) – A fire station in northwest Dallas has been evacuated due to another gas leak.

Dallas Fire Rescue Station 43 is about one mile away from the home that exploded last week, leaving a 12 year old girl dead.

The station was evacuated while a town hall meeting was taking place at a nearby elementary school, as residents voiced concerns about the continued evacuations.

About 300 residents have been evacuated due to gas leaks over the last five days. No word on when the fire station will be operational again.

DFT says as a result of the evacuation resources have been repositioned in the area as follows:

Engine 43 and Truck 43 will be responding out of Fire Station 35 (3839 Walnut Hill Lane)
Rescue 43 will be responding as out of Fire Station 42 (3333 W. Mockingbird Lane).
