Late Tuesday afternoon, crews were called to the same area after a report from a member of the public who detected a strong odour in the area.
The area is the same place where a hydrogen sulphide gas leak was reported last Thursday, at the back of the Wheatley Public Library branch, that forced an evacuation in the town.
Hydrogen sulphide is the same gas responsible for an explosion that occurred in August 2021, where two buildings were destroyed and several others were damaged.
Multiple people were injured following the explosion.
