*UPDATE* As of 1 p.m. Friday, Talbot Street was reopened and all but one business was cleared to return. Enbridge is currently troubleshooting the issue to make repairs.
We’ve been alerted that the St. Thomas Fire Department is on scene at the St. Thomas Road House Bar & Grill for a gas leak.
The restaurant and surrounding buildings have been safely evacuated but the community is asked to avoid the area. Talbot Street is currently closed between Alma and Manitoba Street.
Once the gas has been shut off, updates will be provided.
