## Resource

A downtown building on Durham Street had to be evacuated after reports of a strong gas smell, prompting fire crews and a gas technician to investigate — but no actual leak was found. The situation turned out to be a phantom odor, resolved by resetting the building’s gas system. While it caused a brief scramble for occupants, everything’s back to normal with no confirmed danger.
