At 1:35 p.m. a gas line was reported leaking at 109 Cedar St. in Batavia. At 1:43 p.m. emergency responders ask that traffic be rerouted because of the "significant gas leak."
Within minutes of the initial call, occupants at the Time-Warner Cable Co. facility had the gas line turned off at the building, although the rest of the line continued leaking.
Firefighters responded in roughly three minutes and asked for National Fuel Co. to come out and shut off the leaking pipe.
Construction crews reportedly hit the gas line while working there.
The wind was noted as being 11 MPH out of the southeast, with the temperature at 72 degrees.
