OREGON CITY (AP) — Workers evacuated from a Home Depot store in Oregon City after a methane gas leak set off an alarm Thursday.

Clackamas County fire crews could not find the source of the leak, but the problem eventually cleared up and the store — which is built on an old landfill — reopened.

Fire officials say five employees were treated at the scene for nausea and headaches.
