Upon arrival companies made contact with ATMOS Energy who advised a contractor had cut a gas line and they were working on shutting down meters to businesses in the area. Engine 1 and Ladder 1 went to work evacuating nearby business. Additional resources were dispatched to assist in scene control and to have adequate resources in the event of a fire. The area remained closed off to the public until the line was was repaired by ATMOS.
