Residents Evacuated Following Gas Leak in South Jersey

A gas leak in a vacant house in Gloucester Township, New Jersey left residents out in the cold Friday night.

Metal pipes removed from inside a vacant home on the 300 block of N. 3rd St. in National Park caused a gas main to break, officials said.

Homes nearby were evacuated. Initally, residents were told by PSE&G crews they would not be allowed back into their homes until Saturday, but some have already been given the OK to return. 

PSE&G turned off gas to the homes and the vacant home is being aired out. 

No one was injured in the incident.
