Homes evacuated


BROOKFIELD

Ten homes were evacuated at 9:31 a.m. Monday at the corner of Bedford and Stewart-Sharon Roads after a construction company installing a sewer line hit a 4-inch natural-gas main, rupturing it.

Eastern Natural Gas had the line sealed off about 11 a.m., and the residents were allowed to return to their homes, said Lt. Nick Cresanto of the Brookfield Fire Department. No one was injured.
