Residents are back in their homes after firefighters dealt with a gas leak in Pegasus, North Canterbury. Residents evacuated their homes after a gas leak disrupted the town of Pegasus, North Canterbury. A fencing contractor was driving their vehicle at a customer site when their trailer crashed into a customer's gas meter, an OnGas spokesman said. Police and firefighters also attended a gas leak in Pegasus in April, where four homes were evacuated. "We remind people to take care when working or operating vehicles or machinery near gas equipment and to call 111 if you smell gas," the OnGas spokesman said.
