On Wednesday, October 12th, 2022, at 10:40 am, the Turlock Fire Department was dispatched to a reported natural gas leak in the 2000 block of N Quincy Rd, Turlock.
Firefighters arrived on scene and found that a construction crew had accidentally struck and ruptured a four inch natural gas line, causing a leak.
Those living within the boundaries of Castleview Dr, N Daubenberger Rd, Mira Flores Dr, and N Johnson Rd were all automatically ordered to shelter in place while the Pacific Gas and Electric Company responded to secure the leak.
It took about two hours for the leak to be secured and an additional four to six hours to conduct repairs.
