FRESNO COUNTY, Calif. (KFSN) -- Crews are working to fix a gas leak near Calwa Elementary school.

The leak was first reported around 11:45 a.m. Monday near Rowell and Jensen Avenues.

According to fire officials, a construction crew was working in the area when they started to smell gas.

Pacific Gas and Electric was called to the scene to investigate and found a 6-inch pipe had been hit. However, fire officials say it's unknown if the crew working in the area caused the leak.
