Centralia Fire Protection District firefighters responded to a natural gas leak in the 300 block of South Harrison Street in Central City during the noon hour Wednesday after a construction crew accidentally cut the line while working to rebuild a portion of a house that had been damaged in a severe storm earlier this year.
Fire crews remained on the scene until Ameren was able to turn the line off until repairs could be made.
Centralia ESDA units were also called to the scene for traffic control around the area.
