Underground Fire Still Displacing Darby Residents

Posted: Updated:
DARBY, Pa. -

Dozens of people in Darby, Delaware County, are hoping to go back home Thursday morning after they were evacuated because of a carbon-monoxide leak.

People along the 800 block of Main Street were told they had to find another place to stay Wednesday night.

An underground wire caught on fire, sending the dangerous chemical spewing into the air and into their homes.

Crews worked overnight to fix the problem and they hope to have it shored up and electricity restored by Thursday morning.
