Mystery gas smell sparks response in Cambridge
Residents in Cambridge submitted multiple reports of a gas smell in the city Friday morning, but its origin remains a mystery. City administrator Evan C. Vogel said reports started to come in around 7:30 a.m. and the Cambridge Fire Department immediately started to investigate to determine whether the source was local and if there were any concerns to address.

"Out of an abundance of caution, Centerpoint Energy has been contacted, and has several technicians checking lines throughout the city. Staff will continue to monitor the situation and stay in contact with Centerpoint," Vogel said. Some people commenting in response to the announcement on the Cambridge City Hall Facebook post suggest the smell has come from different areas around the city.
