MONT CLARE, PA — A contractor working in the area reportedly inadvertently struck a gas line, causing fire officials from local companies to be called out to ensure there wasn't a danger to the community.

Trappe reported that as the natural gas and odor made its way into the air, emergency personnel went door-to-door informing residents and business owners that the situation was under control and there was no threat to public safety.

Officials with PECO and the management company at The Meadows Condominium Association also responded to the scene, Trappe Fire Co. stated.

Collegeville Fire Company crews and members of the Phoenixville Fire Department also assisted at the scene.
