Roulette Gas Line Leak to be Fixed
Roulette Volunteer Firefighters were called out Thursday night at about 11:32 pm when a passerby reported natural gas fumes coming from a line near the former PJ’s Restaurant on Route 6. According to Chief Ray Kulp, the dense moist air held the fumes closer to the ground and made them more noticeable. He told Black Forest Broadcasting that the 100 foot “dead end line” owned by UGI had caused problems before but after his phone call this morning, he was assured by the gas company that the problem will be fixed by next Wednesday. Chief Kulp said all responders had returned home by 1:00 o’clock this morning.
