Resident says her family was told to leave Philly home as PGW responds to gas odor

At least one resident was told to leave their home on Wednesday night as PGW responded to a report of a gas odor in West Philadelphia.

Desiree Gomez lives along the 3900 block of Brandywine Street in the Mantua section of West Philadelphia and she told NBC10 that it was smelling like gas inside her home on Feb. 4.

“PGW responded to a report of a gas odor and is onsite to mitigate any potential safety concerns,” a spokesperson for the company wrote in a statement to NBC10.

When she called PGW, she said they told her to leave her home as they responded to the scene.

As of Wednesday night, Gomez said she was not told when she can return to her home.

“I got a newborn and it’s cold,” Gomez said.
