The MTFR was dispatched to assist the Central Fire Company with a gas leak. R66 and L66 responded to the area of Montrose Aveune and County Street in Laureldale Borough for a reported gas leak. Crews arrived on scene and found an active leak coming from under steel plates in the street from a recent worksite. MTFR crews assisted Central Fire Company personnel with evacuating the surrounding homes in a 350’ radius from the leak. UGI officials arrived on scene a short time later and removed the plates in order to shut down the gas line. MTFR crews were on scene for approximately one hour before returning.
