Nature: Gas Leak

Address: 35638 Joann Dr Millsboro, DE 19966

Cross Streets: Jennifer Lee Dr/Dead End

On Tuesday morning, May 21^st, the Indian River Volunteer Fire Company was alerted for a gas leak in the 35000 block of Joanne Drive in Mariner’s Cove off of Long Neck Road.  It was reported to be a ruptured gas leak associated with the contractor digging in the area.

Emergency response units from Indian River included Engine #80-3 and the Delaware State Fire Police.

Emergency response crews were assigned mitigation tasks which included isolation of the incident as well as notification of the utility service provider.

It appears that a contractor struck the propane gas line while digging.  The leak was stopped and Sharp Energy was responding for necessary repairs to the gas line.

Please remember to call Miss Utility before you digging.
