Updated at 7:30 p.m. with the latest information from Grand Prairie Fire officials.
More than 100 residents at the Hunter's Cove apartments in Grand Prairie were evacuated Saturday afternoon due to a nearby gas leak fire, officials say.
The natural gas fire sparked near Mayfield Road and Forum Drive and prompted immediate evacuations for residents and businesses in the area.
No injuries have been reported at this time, Grand Prairie officials say.
Grand Prairie fire officials said the gas leak involved a 6 or 12 high-pressure line. According to Atmos Energy crews, the line required cutting on both sides.
"The safety of the public, our employees and our system is our highest priority, and we want to thank the Arlington and Grand Prairie Fire and Police Departments for their support to make the area safe," said a spokesperson with Atmos Energy.
Residents and businesses between Mayfield Road and Interstate 20 and between Highway 360 and Great Southwest Parkway were ordered to evacuate around 1 p.m.
Around 7:15 p.m., Grand Prairie fire officials said residents were allowed to go home after crews cut off the leak and fire.
Atmos Energy will continue to check gas levels in all home and buildings. And Oncor is restoring power.
