During the late afternoon of July 15th, the Honey Brook Fire Company was dispatched to the area of Maple Street and Park Street in Honey Brook Borough for a gas leak. Assistant 33 (Jackson, Jr.) arrived on location with an active natural gas leak. A construction crew was installing forms for curbing when a service line was hit by a set stake. The service line was fed by a 4" high pressure main. Crews evacuated the area of residents and shut down the streets. A PECO troubleshooter arrived, clamped the leak and repaired the damaged pipe. Units cleared the scene a short time later
