Gwinnett County fire officials are investigating a suspected
gas leak in Norcross.
Fire officials said in a statement Thursday afternoon that
county officials reported a fuel-like odor wafting from a sewer manhole on
Buford Highway near Langford Road. Officials
say a hazardous materials crew found high concentrations of gasoline vapors in
front of a nearby gas station.
Fire officials say the hazmat crew is working with county
and state officials to locate the source of the vapor. Authorities say it's
unclear whether the nearby gas station may have contributed to the
concentration of gas vapors.
Buford Highway is closed while authorities investigate the
source of the vapors.
No evacuations or injuries have been reported.
