Hundreds of Detroit-Area Families Urged to Evacuate Homes Near Gasoline Spill
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Michigan officials are urging hundreds of families to evacuate their
homes near a Detroit-area Ford Motor plant, after 1,400 gallons of
gasoline leaked into city sewers. The Wayne County Health Department
says there's little risk of an explosion, but residents are at risk from
toxic benzene fumes, which can cause cancer.
