Overview
- The gas leak was reported Wednesday near the MAA Meridian Apartments on the 2400 block of Allen Street after a construction crew struck what officials say was a six‑inch commercial gas line.
- Dallas Fire‑Rescue dispatched multiple units including a HazMat team and Atmos Energy technicians arrived to isolate and repair the rupture.
- Although crews detected no gas readings inside the four‑story apartment building, officials evacuated the nearly 200‑unit complex as a precaution and moved residents to nearby housing.
- Police closed several Uptown streets, including State Street between Fairmount and Hall and Allen Street between Thomas and Woodside, to keep the area clear while crews work.
- Emergency teams continue on scene to assess and mitigate the leak, with officials saying residents will remain displaced until crews secure the line and the site is declared safe.
