A commercial building on Richter street was evacuated Monday morning following a gas leak.
Fire crews and FortisBC were called to the scene at Richter and Lanfranco Road about 8:15 a.m.
At least 20 people were evacuated after the smell of gas filled the building.
鈥淭hey didn鈥檛 give us much information. My manager walked through and said for us to turn off our equipment and make sure there were no patients as we left the building,鈥� said Derek Smith an X-Ray technologist for 琉璃神社 Medical Imaging.
The gas leak occurred around 8:30 a.m. on Monday morning.
