At 3:07 pm on Wednesday August 10, 2022 the Gloucester County 911 Communications began receiving calls from Hundreds of residence of a natural gas odor throughout Gloucester County.  Police and Fire units from through out the county responded to these complaints.  Gloucester County 911 Communications then received a 911 call from the Travel Center Truck Stop on Berkley Road in East Greenwich Township advising that there was a gas leak coming from a tractor trailer parked in the lot.  Upon the police and fire department’s arrival it was confirmed that a trailer is venting off large amounts of gas from the parked trailer.
