Possible Gas Leak Disrupts Busy City Intersection

Flashing lights and sirens causing a commotion at King and Germain this morning -- fire crews - ambulances - and - police responding to reports of gas fumes in the area.  
District Fire Chief Gerry Morris tells CHSJ News readings inside nearby buildings including the CIBC bank failed to turn up any traces of natural gas.
Morris says there were roofers working on one of the buildings and it appears some of the fumes from propane fired heaters may have been hauled in through the ventilation system.
After double checking for gas fumes - the o-k was given a few minutes later and life returned to normal at the busy intersection.
