Cantonment Gas Leak Leads To Evacuations

October 24, 2012

A gas leak led to the evacuation of three homes about 4:30 Tuesday afternoon on Littleton Street in the Milestone subdivision off West Nine Mile Road. A small cloud of natural gas could been seen in the neighborhood until Pensacola Energy (the former Energy Services of Pensacola) shut off the gas and repaired the leak.

Pensacola Energy said the leak was caused by a contractor who was digging in the area.

The Ensley and Bellview stations of Escambia Fire Rescue also responded to the leak.
