Clark County Fire District 6 responded Wednesday morning to a reported natural gas leak in the swimming pool area of a Hazel Dell gym.

A manager at LA Fitness, N.E. 78th St., called 911 at about 8:45 a.m. to report the smell of natural gas.

Two crews responded and shut off natural gas to a mechanical room near the pool. A Northwest Natural investigation revealed needed repairs in a water heater as the cause of the leak.

In a press release, fire officials urged individuals who smell natural gas – or rotten eggs, which is the scent the gas gives off – to call 911 away from the suspected leak. Telephones and other electrical devices with batteries could ignite the gas.
