LOUISVILLE, KY (WAVE) – A shelter-in-place order has been lifted in downtown Louisville following a hazmat incident.

A natural gas leak was reported at South Floyd Street and East Chestnut Street.

Louisville Fire & Rescue spokesman Salvador Melendez said the shelter-in-place was issued until crews were able to take readings inside of the hospitals in the immediate area.

Once the readings came back negative the shelter-in-place was canceled.

Melendez said no injuries were reported.
