A natural-gas leak took several hours to patch up Saturday near a golf course in Weston, a Broward Sheriff Fire Rescue spokesman said.
About three dozen firefighters from the agency's hazardous-materials team and Sunrise Fire Rescue were on-site trying to halt the leak at Bonaventure and Blatt boulevards, Broward Sheriff Fire Rescue spokesman Mike Jachles said.
Shortly before noon, workers making a plumbing repair struck a 3-inch gas line at the nearby golf course, Bonaventure Country Club, causing the leak, he said.
The "significant operation" required a lot of manpower to get to the damaged gas line that was 5 feet underground, Jachles said.
Utilities workers from the city of Sunrise were also on scene to repair the leak.
No homes were evacuated. Some nearby businesses may have been affected, though it's unclear how many.
