9/25/2026 1703 Gas Leak

09.28.2026 by Graham Fuller //

9/25/2026 | 1703 Hours – Station 25 responded to 149 Roosevelt Terrace in Ardmore for a report of a strong odor of natural gas outside a residence.

First-arriving crews discovered that the home’s gas meter had been knocked off, causing natural gas to flow freely from the service line. Fortunately, the shutoff valve remained intact, allowing firefighters to quickly secure the gas supply and stop the leak.

PECO was requested to the scene while Ardmore firefighters checked and ventilated the residence. As an added precaution, crews also checked neighboring homes to ensure there were no additional hazards.

Natural gas emergencies can become dangerous very quickly. If you smell gas, leave the area immediately, avoid anything that could create a spark or flame, and call 911 from a safe location.
