QuickTake:

Firefighters evacuated the four-story building while they worked with the gas company to investigate. People were allowed to return to the building about an hour later.

A report of a gas smell Wednesday morning, July 30, led firefighters to evacuate a four-level office building in downtown Eugene and shut down a three-block stretch of East Broadway.

No one required medical treatment, said Wayne Morris, a battalion chief with Eugene Springfield Fire, though multiple people reported a gas odor from inside the building.

Firefighters, once inside, scanned all floors of the building for gas levels, he said.

“We go in with monitors and check each floor with air monitors to see if there’s gas levels within an explosive limit. And right now, we found none of that,” Morris said.

As of 11:30 a.m., Morris said firefighters continued to work with gas company personnel to try to find the source of the potential gas leak.

People were allowed back into the building and the street was reopened shortly after noon.

Dispatch records show firefighters were called at 10:55 a.m. to a report of a gas leak at 101 E. Broadway, a building known as Parkview Place.

Firefighters placed yellow caution tape near the building’s entrances and wore what appeared to be oxygen tanks as they climbed a fire ladder to the building’s roof. Morris said firefighters went to the roof to view the building’s heating, ventilation and air conditioning units as they searched for the cause of the possible gas leak.
