New Year's Eve evacuation near Howard Davis Park due to gas leak

Islanders were evacuated from a building on La Colomberie on New Year's Eve due to a gas leak.

Jersey Fire & Rescue were called to the scene by Island Energy on 31 December, after evacuating people from their flats.

The utility company was already on the scene, dealing with a 'known gas leak' in the road.

The emergency services were required to assist engineers in accessing empty flats to check for gas readings.

Jersey's firefighters were not needed in the end, but they stood by in case Island Energy needed any additional help.

Once the engineers were happy with their readings, Jersey Fire & Rescue were stood down.
