PEOPLE were warned to stay in their homes this evening after a 'substantial' gas leak in Penryn.
One fire crew from Falmouth was sent to the scene at The Terrace, at around 8pm. It is not known what caused the leak.
There were initial plans to evacuate nearby households but emergency services instead gave advice for people to stay indoors and move to the back rooms while the incident in the road was investigated.
The police were called along with staff from Wales and West Utilities.
The roads around the leak, from West Street to Saracen Place, were closed to allow Wales and West to work to stop the release of gas.
Owners of vehicles parked in this area were also contacted and asked to move the motors so the utilities staff could access the damaged pipe.
Around an hour after the first reports of the incident, the leak was isolated and fire crews and police left the scene.
No one was injured.
