THE Salvation Army House in Mawson was forced to evacuate after someone smelt gas in the building.
ACT Fire & Rescue were called to the building on Ainsworth Street where they discovered a gas stove had accidentally been left on.
Firefighters are now reminding the ACT community to be sure to double check gas is turned off when finished using appliances.
Crews have cleared the gas and performed atmospheric testing.
