Brake line leak

Ok, I am in Fergus Ont. at campground by recreation center. When I started up this am the brake warning light came on. On investigation the steel line that runs beside the fuel tank is spraying brake fuid when the brakes are pressed. Is it possible to self repair? I am puling a fifth wheel and only have basic tools. No pipe flair which I assume I would need. Does anyone know if Canadian Tire carries the lines and etc I would need. Being Sunday of course noone else is open and the Canadian Tire service bay is also shut. Is there anyone in the area with a shop recomendation? Can the line be crimped or repaired with plumbers epoxy?
