Officials in Massachusetts say at least 50 fires have been reported in Lawrence, Andover and North Andover after problems with the natural gas system.
Fire Chief Michael Mansfield said 25 to 30 active fires were in progress in Andover and at least 18 in Lawrence.
The Massachusetts State Police said in a tweet on Thursday that residents in the affected areas who have gas service from Columbia Gas 'should evacuate their homes immediately if they have not done so'.
If residents who don't have service from Columbia smell gas in their home they are urged to leave.
'Gas lines are currently being depressurized by the company it will take some time,' police said.
Lt. Edward Guy, spokesman for the Andover Police Department, said: 'There are multiple basement fires in Andover. It's some kind of gas issue. We urge residents if they are smelling gas to get out of the house and contact 911. We will get units out there.'
Residents in Andover received a robo call on Thursday asking them to shut off the gas in their homes.

The Massachusetts State Po...
It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
