UPDATE: BART has now reopened Daly City and Colma stations.
A San Francisco Police Department Bomb Squad robot is inspecting a truck near the Daly City BART station that may contain leaking gas tanks, ABC 7 reports.
ABC 7 reporter Ryan Curry says a public information officer told him a canister fell in the truck and may be leaking either butane or propane.
BART stations around Daly City have been closed and evacuated due to a “possible hazmat situation.”

The San Francisco city truck is believed to have been transporting hazardous materials from an explosion and fire in the Sunset District Thursday.
"Investigators removed items from the scene of a fire that occurred Thursday on the 1700 block of 22nd Street. During the transport of these items, the drivers pulled over in Daly City," spokesperson for SFPD said.
SFPD were then assisted by specially trained officers, Daly City Fire, Daly City Police, North County Fire Authority and Hazmat 14 with the incident.
