GARLAND, Utah — A "significant" gas leak at a community in Garland forced the evacuation of multiple homes Thursday night, the fire department reported.

The leak was reported in the Bear Hollow Community just before 7 p.m. after construction crews building homes nearby hit a 6-inch pipeline.

All access ways into the community were closed off to allow emergency crews access to the area as the fire department, along with Enbridge Gas and the Box Elder County Sheriff's Office responded to the scene.

After three hours, crews were able to shut off the gas and residents were allowed to return to their homes.

It's not known how many homes or residents were impacted by the evacuations.
