"The Roseville Fire Department responded about 6:30 p.m. Tuesday to the gas fire in the middle of the intersection that burned brightly through on the asphalt.
Fire officials said they believed there was a break in a 4-inch natural gas line underneath the intersection.
No injuries were reported, and Pacific Gas & Electric crews arrived Tuesday night to assess the situation and begin repairs. Utility crews were finishing up their work this morning."
