San José Fire Department Final Update on Race Street and Park Avenue Gas Leak
SAN JOSE, Calif. (August 27, 2021) – On Wednesday, August 25, 2021, San José Fire Department (SJFD) responded to reports of a gas leak at approximately 9:46 a.m. near the intersection of Race Street and Park Avenue. As a result, residents were evacuated from their homes until 10:30 p.m. on Thursday, August 26 when the evacuation order was lifted. All evacuated residents may return to their homes. A very small number of residents remain without gas services. Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) is supporting the residents without gas service to their homes.
An evacuation shelter was established by the San José Parks, Recreation & Neighborhood Services Department at the Bascom Community Center on Wednesday afternoon. Over 180 evacuees were provided overnight accommodations; our Access and Functional Needs community members received support; meals were provided by the City in partnership with the Red Cross of Silicon Valley and Team San José; and pets — several dogs, cats, and 1 hamster — were also assisted.
