~ On September 18, 2023, at 2:19 p.m., the Spokane Fire Department responded to a reported gas leak near the Safeway located at 2507 West Wellesley Ave. An investigation revealed that the incident was triggered by an excavator accidentally striking a 2" gas line behind a strip mall containing Safeway and the Walmart Shopping Center to the east, releasing gas into the atmosphere.

In response to the proximity of the gas leak to nearby buildings, precautionary measures were taken and citizens and businesses in the affected area were evacuated. The evacuated establishments included Safeway, Fancy Nails, Global Credit Union, Great Clips, Sally Beauty Supply, Indigo Urgent Care, Starbucks, and the outdoor garden area of Walmart. The evacuation was efficiently carried out and lasted for less than 45 minutes.

Avista was requested to repair the damaged section of the gas line and firefighters stood by with charged hose lines to protect their workers who quickly completed their task in less than 20 minutes. Following successful repair and elimination of any further danger, the evacuation order was rescinded and all businesses resumed their regular operations without any reported damages or injuries.

The Spokane Fire Department commended its personnel, Avista, and evacuated businesses for their swift response and cooperation which led to a safe resolution of the incident. Tour Commander 509.625.7100 expressed gratitude for their efforts in ensuring safety in such a timely manner.
