Firefighters respond after a strong smell of gas is detected in central Dunedin last night.

A Fire Service spokesman said a crew from Dunedin City Station were called at 7.30pm about a smell of gas coming from the basement of the National Bank building at 193 Princes St.

Another two crews were called and responded with a gas detection monitor.

Police cordoned off part of Princes St. Nova Energy staff and the building owner investigated but failed to find a gas leak.

The crews left about 8.40pm.

``Our guys decided it wasn't too much of a danger and left it with the building owner and Nova to investigate further.''
