The leak was first reported as a "fire incident" by Columbia Borough police around 1:30 p.m. on Sept. 7. 

The public was urged to avoid S 2nd and Union streets in the borough, but additional information was not immediately shared. 

Daily Voice reached out to authorities and confirmed the incident is actually a gas leak, not a fire.

No one has been injured or hospitalized due to the leak.
