A Home Depot in Auburn, Massachusetts, reopened Wednesday morning after a gas leak forced it to close for several hours. The store, located on Washington Street, was evacuated around 2 p.m. Tuesday and remained closed for the rest of the day due to a "propane incident" in the back of the building, the fire department said on Twitter. The fire department and Osterman Gas used a controlled burn outside of the store to deplete the supply of propane. In a tweet Wednesday morning, fire officials announced the store was reopening.
