A gas leak caused by a homeowner digging in his yard and hitting a service pipe prompted the evacuation of homes in Redwood City Thursday afternoon.
Fire crews responded to a report of a gas smell in the 1600 block of Vera Avenue at about 2:40 p.m., Battalion Chief Dave Pucci said. When they arrived, they found that a small gas line had ruptured.
