The Kleefeld Fire Department was called to a ruptured gas line one mile east of PR 216 on Ridge Road.

Fire Captain Tim Bartel says the call came in at around 4 p.m. He says the gas line was hit by a construction crew.

"Just basically they were attempting to move a driveway and caught a gas line that was buried shallow."

Bartel says the fire department closed off a half mile section of Ridge Road while Manitoba Hydro fixed the leak.
