A truck struck an unmarked gas line in Lakewood on Monday morning, igniting a fire that forced hundreds to evacuate from area apartments, according to a report.
The blaze broke out in the area of Second Street and Forest Avenue around 8 a.m, the Lakewood Scoop said. It has since been extinguished and there are no reports of injuries, Lakewood police Lt. LeRoy Marshall told NJ Advance Media.
Photos and video from the scene show a fire burning next to a small apartment building.
