(KSL News) -- The smell of natural gas forced the evacuation of a grocery store in Provo today.

Firefighters and Questar gas responded to a possible leak around 9:00 at the Albertson's on 500 West and Center, but crews were not able to determine the source of the gas smell.

Capt. Tom Torgerson, Provo Fire Dept: "When they happened, they received a lot of calls in the neighborhood between Albertsons and the freeway, approximately a six block area. So it was a large area the smell was coming from."

After about an hour, crews gave the all clear.

This isn't the first time there has been a problem in the area. Questar is now searching several possible sources of a leak.
