Firefighters responded to the call around 11:09 p.m.

The first engine on scene reported a heavy smell of natural gas. It was not immediately clear where the source of the smell was, but there was construction happening in the area.

There is a hard street closure on Calle Real between Kingston avenue and Encina lane.
