Published
DOWNEY, Calif. - Evacuations were lifted in Downey early Friday morning after workers repaired a natural gas leak.
The Downey Fire Department says the broken line has been secured and is no longer leaking gas.
The leak was reported about 10:35 a.m. Thursday when Southern California Gas Company crews were alerted to a natural gas line that was apparently damaged by a third-party contractor in the area of 7800 Stewart and Gray Road near Rives Avenue, according to a SoCalGas statement.
An alert warning of the gas leak was sent to all cell phones of Los Angeles County residents.
An explosion, apparently caused by a gas leak, rocked a house tonight in Valley Glen, leaving one person critically injured and a second buried in rubble.

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 8, 2021 /PRNewswire/ Hon. Daniel Buckley issued a ruling in favor of the plaintiffs in the ongoing Porter Ranch Gas Leak case stating that the issue of punitive damages will require trial.
At a hearing on January 6, 2021, Judge Buckley ruled against SoCalGas and its parent company Sempra Energy in its motion for summary adjudication given the evidence Plaintiffs presented about Defendants approach to the management and operation of SS-25 at Aliso Canyon.
This ruling clears a pathway for residents, homeowners, first responders and others impacted by the gas blowout and its subsequent cover-up to recoup the damages they each suffered at the hands of SoCalGas and Sempra.
