A gas leak at a hotel on Fort Street prompted the evacuation of 40 people in the early hours on Saturday.
Crews were notified of the leak around 4:20 a.m. and arrived to find gas venting from a damaged line outside the building downtown.
The patrons were evacuated to a waiting Winnipeg Transit bus that had been deployed to provide shelter.
Manitoba Hydro workers were called out to fix the leak, and patrons were allowed to return to their rooms a short time later.
No injuries were reported.
