4. On March 1, Roseville firefighters responded to a report of a broken gas line. When they arrived, they found that a backhoe had hit the line and the line was leaking gas. Businesses in the area were evacuated, as hazardous materials crews worked to fix the broken line. Those crews applied a clamp "to mitigate the leak" so PG&E could work to fix it permanently.
