Merrill residents were asked to evacuate an area after a gas leak.
The Merrill Fire Department put up word of the leak yesterday afternoon on their Facebook page.
Residents were asked to avoid the area of 10th & Elm Streets for what the department described as a significant gas leak.
They were evacuating a one block radius around the leak.
Word was later posted that the leak had been fixed, and Merrill residents who lived in that area could return home.
