at a South Burlington construction site Friday morning, starting a leak and a fire that damaged the truck and scorched part of a condominium under construction on Lime Kiln Road.
Nobody was hurt. The construction site was evacuated, but residents of nearby homes and condominiums were allowed to stay.
A fork lift-type truck backed over the valve at about 10:15 Friday morning, South Burlington Fire Capt. Matt Vinci said.
The fire burned under the truck for at least a half hour, and set fire to the exterior of the condominium. Damage to the building was slight, Vinci said.
Vermont Gas Systems Inc. quickly shut the gas line down, but it took until shortly before 11 a.m. until all the gas had drained from the line, Vinci said. Firefighters soaked the building's exterior and the truck until all the gas drained from the line and the fire went out, he said.
