Neighbours had to be evacuated after a garden bonfire set fire to a gas pipe.
The incident happened just before 7pm yesterday at a house in Birkenshaw Lane, Birkenshaw.
The fire burned through an outdoor pipe leading to the house and damaged a window.
Firefighters from Batley doused the house while gas officials worked to switch off the supply and install a new pipe.
