130-plus Lexington residents, 53 Nashville units evacuated

Nashville firefighters evacuated 53 apartments and nearby townhome units in Antioch after detecting dangerous levels of natural gas and carbon monoxide across several buildings. Officials suspect nearby drilling or blasting disturbed underground gas, which can be odorless; the utility said the incident did not involve a commercial gas-line leak. No injuries were reported, and crews monitored gas levels while working with the construction company on ventilation and mitigation. Residents were told to follow emergency officials’ instructions, with some potentially needing temporary housing while levels clear.
