A Wells Fargo Bank office in the Fairfax District--near the site of a 1985 methane gas explosion that injured 21 people--remained closed Thursday after an apparent buildup of methane was discovered inside a bank wall.
Kim Kellogg, a spokeswoman for the San Francisco-based bank, said about 15 employees of the branch were evacuated Wednesday after an inspector monitoring the building for methane odors removed an electrical plate from the wall and was hit by heavy fumes.
