Overview
- Flames were seen venting from a sewer on Millstone River Road after a late Wednesday leak in an underground PSE&G pipeline ignited.
- Police initially responded to reports of a transformer incident and found a live electrical wire sparking near the scene.
- Authorities reported at least seven homes evacuated out of caution, with no injuries or residential damage confirmed.
- Millstone River Road remains closed between Claremont Drive and the Millstone River Road Bypass, with significant delays expected.
- PSE&G is methodically cutting gas pressure before closing a valve, then locating the leak for repairs once the fire is out.
