Update 1 pm: The scene is now cleared and Wrangler Way is open.
Update 12:20 pm: Wrangler Way is still closed to all traffic due to a natural gas leak earlier today.
Fire chief Roger Hollander says the South Cariboo Visitors Center was evacuated as a precaution, and the South Cariboo Recreation Center was told to shelter in place as the only road to the complex is currently closed.
Hollander says the leak was caused by machinery puncturing a line.
Fortis gas is on scene locating and stopping the leak, and Hollander says while the area is secure it will remain closed until further notice.
