A gas leak last evening resulted in the evacuation of the Irving convenience store in Cookville and the upper section of North Street in Bridgewater and highway 10 were closed to traffic. It happened around 7pm when employees at the Cookville Irving noticed a strong gas smell and called Northfield fire fighters. Oakhill fire fighters were also called in. It was later determined the leak was being caused by a faulty regulator in the Irving gas station heating system. Repairs were made and the store and surrounding area were given the OK around 10pm. No one was hurt.
