Part of the Flint Hills Technical College main campus was briefly evacuated late Friday afternoon after a report of a gas leak late Friday afternoon.
Emporia Fire responded to 3301 West 18th around 4 pm. Fire Capt. Ryan Schmidt says contractors were installing natural gas equipment in the culinary arts area. They then turned the gas on and discovered a couple pilot lights were not in the proper on-off position.
That part of the building was evacuated and the issues were quickly fixed. No injuries were reported.
