Propane Leak Causes Problems in Old Forge
Propane Leak Causes Problems in Old Forge - Tuesday, February 3, 2009 at 10:15PM EST
OLD FORGE, LACKAWANNA COUNTY- A propane leak triggered a voluntary evacuation in the Austin Heights section of Old Forge Lackawanna County Tuesday afternoon.
A gas company worker noticed the leak in a 400-pound underground propane tank along Sonny Drive in Old Forge around 3:00 P. M. That worker immediately contacted police and emergency officials.
They say they're not sure if the leak is in the tank valve, a pipe or in the tank itself. They called for a volunteer evacuation of several residents in the area. People are being kept back about 800 feet from the scene of the leak.
Right now they're still working to fix it. | |
