An apartment building in central Wellington has been evacuated because of a gas leak.
Fire crews were called to the two-storey building on Pirie St at the base of Mt Victoria about 3.05pm.
Fire and Emergency New Zealand duty manager Murray Dunbar said fire crews detected gas inthe foyer and stairwell of the building and were attempting to locate the source of the leak with gas-detecting meters.
Hazardous materials engines were at the scene and crews were also working to isolate the gas supply to the building.
