At around 11 a.m. Galeton emergency personnel were dispatched to a reported gas well "explosion" on the Lick Run Road off the Elk Run Road in Gaines Township, directly south of here.

The 911 center dispatch reported two injuries.

A Guthrie Air medical helicopter was dispatched to the scene. The state Department of Environmental Protection officials said an inspector had been dispatched to the scene, but had no further information, other than the company reported everything was under control. ...
