A gas main break prompted Fire and Sheriff’s department officials to evacuate five homes near West Creek Academy in Valencia, although the school and its students are not in danger, fire officials said.
“We had a 4-inch gas-main break due to construction,” said Stephanie English, spokeswoman for L.A. County Fire. “No evacuations have been called for the school because the children are not in danger.”
The evacuations are supposed to last for several hours while Gas Company officials fix the break, she said.
Fire and law enforcement officials are currently at the scene.
