Winds are from SW headed NE, carrying smells that direction. Natural gas is lighter than air.

It will be about two hours before crews are able to resolve the gas leak. Bend Fire and Police are on the scene and are working with Cascade Natural Gas to shut off the leak.People should avoid the area around Colorado Avenue, Simpson Avenue, Industrial Way and the Old Mill District because of road closures and congestion.
