Elderly residents at a Bay of Plenty rest home were evacuated after a gas leak this morning.
Fire crews from Tauranga and Mt Maunganui were called to Cedar Manor about 8.30am.
North communications shift manager Jaron Phillips said there was a leak in a domestic gas line, which "wasn't too major", as the gas pipe was relatively small.
The gas leak was found outside, between the hospital and the villages.
A fireman from the Tauranga brigade said Cedar Manor staff moved some residents from their rooms to the other side of the building, away from the gas leak.
