Natural gas has been restored to a part of Amherstburg after a line was struck Monday morning and caused a gas-leak.

The Amherstburg Fire Department responded to a Fort Malden property on Laird where a contractor hit a two inch line.

About seven homes were evacuated as a precaution as crews checked for possible air quality issues.

No one was hurt.

Union gas crews shut off the gas flow and had the line repaired 2 p.m.
