Here students are seen boarding a bus after the evacuation. The buses took the 680 students from Cutler Elementary School down the street to El Monte Middle School in Orosi.
There were no reported injuries or related illnesses as a result of the gas leak.

school, with about 80 students, was also evacuated for safety measures. Parents of those students were notified and were allowed to pick up their children at the evacuation site, under the Cutler water tower.
Houses in the area, according to Sanchez, were also notified of the situation and were given the option to evacuate or remain in their homes.
There were no further incidents as a result of the gas leak and, as students were being bused, the gas company was on the site rectifying the leak. Sanchez said the repairs were expected to take several hours.
“The kids were not exposed to it,” said Sanchez. “We felt the best would be to evacuate them in this direction (referring to the park west of the school), away from the downwind of the area.”
