More than 100 people are allowed back in their homes and businesses after an evacuation related to a gas leak in Kensington this afternoon.

Fire crews were called to the scene around 12:50 p.m. for reports of a damaged gas line in the back alley at a construction site at Kensington Rd. at 11a St. northwest.

The fire department's HASMAT crew clamped the damaged line until Atco arrived.

10 homes and two commercial buildings were evacuated and Kensington Rd. was closed between 10th and 14th streets.

Atco will remain on scene to complete repairs.
