Breaking: Gas main leak reported at 2nd and Church, 10:30 AM


Just got a call that a natural gas leak is being reported at the corner of East 2nd and Church Streets, where New Jersey Water contractors have recently been working on relining the water mains.

Union County College's Plainfield campus has been reportedly evacuated. Both East 2nd and Church Streets are barricaded, and word is that owners of vehicles parked in the lot behind Pete's Fish Market have been ordered out.

Will post more later, but let me leave you with this question:

Now that Muhlenberg is closed, what becomes of the disaster plan for Plainfield developed a number of years ago and predicated on a fully functional acute-care hospital being a part of any disaster response?

Makes you feel real safe, right?

Apparently, this is the second in two days in this general area, according to the Courier.

I second the thought about the new disaster plan.
