Gas Leak response



Engine 1-1 and Asst. Chief 1 responded to the 100 block of Glen Street for an odor of gas outside. Units arrived in the area with an evident odor and began to investigate. Crews located a large concentration of natural gas outside a residence and added Engine 1-2 and Tower 1 to the call to assist. Borough Gas Dept was requested to the scene as well to assist. After checking the area, a suspected break in a gas line was found outside the residence. Borough Gas shut off the gas to the line and crews monitored as levels lowered. Crews operated on scene for an hour before going available.
