Officials in Lexington are evacuating residents from part of the city following a gas leak Friday morning.

Its the second time in as many days that parts of the city have been evacuated due to a gas leak.

Officials say Fridays gas leak is located at 51 Lakeview Drive.

The city says emergency personnel are on the scene and helping residents within a 330-foot radius of the leak to evacuate.

KSHB 41 News reporter La'Nita Brooks spent Thursday talking with residents in Lexington about Thursday's gas leak and their memories of a similar incident in April 2025 that led to a deadly explosion.

"Yeah, it was a little scary, you know," Lexington resident Brenda Dady said Thursday. "But we're safe now."
