A natural gas leak caused by a trenching machine led to the evacuation of one home this morning at Candlelight Village in Columbus.

Firefighters were called to the 2800 block of Rosewood Lane at about 10:54 this morning after maintenance crews damaged the one-inch gas line while they were burying electrical lines at the site of a new home in the park.

Firefighters closed the street and called Vectren Energy in to stop the leak. Capt. Mike Wilson, spokesman for the fire department, said that you should always call before you dig. Vectren officials told firefighters that the utility location survey had been completed for the site prior to the incident.

But Wilson said Vectren also suggested hand digging if you are excavating close to an underground line.
