A gas leak in Harford County led to the evacuation of several homes last night. The Fallston Volunteer Fire & Ambulance Company responded to the incident in the 2300 block of Thetford Court shortly after 3:30 p.m., confirming the presence of an active natural gas leak. According to WMAR2 News, volunteer firefighters were on the scene, and officials urged the public to avoid the area.
The evacuation seemed to be a cautious response to ensure resident safety while the leak was being assessed. BGE, the local utility company, quickly responded to the event to investigate and make repairs. As described by NottinghamMD, motorists were advised to steer clear of the affected vicinity, with some roads possibly being closed or redirected as the situation unfolded.
Evacuated residents are waiting for updates from local authorities. The size of the gas leak and when they can return home remain unclear. Safety measures are in place as officials investigate the cause and potential risks of the leak.
