BELLMAWR NJ (June 3, 2015)–For the second time in two days the Bellmawr Fire Department responded to two natural gas emergencies in town.
The second was for an odor of gas in the house.
Further investigation revealed that the homeowner hired a contractor a week ago to run a new gas line to an appliance. A leak was discovered in the crawl space under the house and was secured by emergency personnel. The work was done without getting a permit.
Please understand the permitting process is in place to ensure the work is done to code and is safe. This incident was averted before a tragedy occurred. If you are getting work done or thinking of having work done and are not sure if a permit is required please contact the Borough\’s Construction Office at 856-933-1286.
Also on June 3, the Bellmawr Fire Department Squad 32 responded to an auto fire on Route 76 NB just past the Browning Road overpass. This was the department\’s 15th run of the month.
