A natural gas leak prompted evacuations and a shelter in place order Thursday in Tiburon, according to the Southern Marin Fire Department.

The gas leak was affecting the 100 block of Sugar Loaf Drive in Tiburon. Crews capped the leak at about 5:15 p.m., but repairs to the line were expected to take all night, officials said.

The line was ruptured by a third-party contractor, officials said.

About 35 customers were impacted by the outage as crews repaired the line.
