Crews were called to the corner of West Southern Ave and Caroline Ave in Covington this morning after reports of a collapsed wall.
Upon arrival, it was determined that a water main burst and gas leak caused the retaining wall to crumble.
The situation is now under control, but four homes were evacuated. Authorities say those out of their home have been put on a Tank bus so that they are not out in the cold.
Crews say there is still a small leak, but it poses no danger. They plan to begin clean up and still need to determine if the homes evacuated are structurally sound enough for the families to return.
Multiple fire trucks were on the scene and are still blocking the intersection and a large area of Caroline Ave.

Workers prepare an area where the first bulkhead for the South Terminal will be installed in New Bedford Harbor.PETER PEREIRA/The Standard-Times

NEW BEDFORD After months of underwater work, South Terminal is beginning to pop through the surface.
This week, construction crews began to form the facility's bulkhead, or retaining wall, which is a critical component of the project that New Bedford wants to make its future in staging offshore wind farms.
"Everything we've been doing has been working toward this point," said Bill White of Massachusetts Clean Energy Center, which owns the facility. "All of the underwater work we've been doing was to be able to build this bulkhead."
The bulkhead has been specifically engineered so that the facility will be able to support 4,000 tons per square foot, even at its edges near the water. Such a load capacity is necessary to hold both the hundred-ton wind turbine components expected to be on- and off-loaded from the facility, and the cranes that will help with the work.
The bulkhead's designer, Susan Nilson of Cleengineering, explained that the circular shape of the "cofferdams" that interlock to form the retaining wall "fortifies it enough that we will be able to bring cranes all the way to the quayside. The cofferdams allow the facility to have the same capacity all the way to its the edge."
The 1,000-foot long bulkhead will be composed of 25 total interlocking circles, 13 large and 12 small. Crews are just starting on the southern-most cofferdam, executing a delicate process of lining up narrow steel sheets to form a circle.
Once the sheets are aligned correctly, they will be vibrated into the harbor floor until either they cannot be pushed in further or they hit bedrock, Senior Project Manager Shawn Wyatt said.

PORTSMOUTH, N.H. (AP) - The Kentucky man leaving giant tips at restaurants around the nation in the name of his late brother has struck in New Hampshire.
Seth Collins of Lexington, Ky., handed a $500 tip Monday to 23-year-old waitress Taylor Dube at the Portsmouth Gas Light Co. Pizza Pub.
Dube said Collins spent about $7 on the pizza buffet. When he started giving her the money, she was in shock.
The 34-year-old Collins is handing out the tips in honor of his brother, Aaron, who died in 2012 at age 30 and indicated in his will he would like a generous tip to be given to a waitress. The gesture turned into a national trip.
Collins said aid he has about 10 more states to check off his list before he's done.

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio (AP) - A 60-year-old woman accused of running a brothel in a northeast Ohio suburb will avoid prison.
Susan Sackela was sentenced Thursday to two years of probation after pleading guilty in October to two counts of pandering obscenity.
The (Youngstown) Vindicator (http://bit.ly/19lW9Dc) reports that she initially was charged with promoting prostitution, but prosecutors offered the plea deal because of possible issues at trial.
She was charged in September 2011 with running a brothel out of a home in the Youngstown suburb of Austintown.
That came after an 18-month investigation that started with complaints from neighbors. A search of the home found a fully stocked bar and a room with a dancer's pole.

SCRANTON A bridge in Scranton that connects downtown to the citys west side reopened Friday.
Its been nearly three years since a retaining wall under the Linden Street bridge started crumbling. And though the bridge is only a few hundred feet long, folks who use it say now that its open it will have a big impact on traffic.
It was March of 2011 when a driver noticed the bridge on Linden Street had a huge hole in it. It was closed right away and sat untouched until earlier this year.
PennDOT officials say there were a lot of holdups before crews could replace the bridge but they finished up their work this week and reopened it to traffic Wednesday afternoon.
It may not seem like a long distance, but the extra half mile detour Karin Fosters had to drive from her house in West Scranton to downtown has added up after nearly three years.
Until they changed the light on Seventh Avenue, it was back up onto Main Avenue almost every day. So, its going to be a tremendous help to all the businesses on Main Avenue. Theyve had a big hit financially because people couldnt go over quick for lunch like they could before, Foster said.
Its been a big headache so Foster wanted to be there to see it when officials pulled away the barriers and opened the new Linden Street bridge. PennDOT press officer Mike Taluto took the first trip over, which was unintentionally a coincidence. Back in March of 2011, long before he worked for PennDOT, Taluto took his car across this bridge and noticed the retaining wall holding it up was crumbling.
I was coming home one night and I looked over and saw this big hole in the street. I go to the top of the hill and I thought I better go back down and I drove back down and the hole was getting bigger and bigger, then I just called police, Taluto recalled.
PennDOT closed the bridge immediately but then in sat for almost two years with no work being done on the bridge. PennDOT officials say thats because there were complicating factors. Underneath it, railroad tracks, water mains, fiber optic cables, and gas lines all needed to be moved.
