Flames burst from the pavement as homes were evacuated following a gas leak in Everton
Shortly after 2am on Tuesday, emergency services were called to Boundary Lane in Everton to reports of a fire close to a number of home. Two fire engines were sent to the scene.
A number of houses were evacuated by fire crews as a precaution and a 25m cordon was put in place, with both ends of Boundary Lane closed off to traffic. A boundary wall could be seen blackened with scorch marks caused by the leaking gas igniting.
