Firefighters say city utility workers hit an underground natural gas line. While there were no injuries, many residents were not allowed to return to their homes for more than two hours.

Part of Bill Kakish's home was covered with a red water residue that the gas leak emitted through the air.

"The city should be responsible," he said. "I live here, this is my home."
