LAKEWOOD, N.J. (CBS) - A gas leak at a New Jersey neighborhood sparked a two-alarm fire on Monday morning.

Crews were called to a townhouse on the 200 block of Private Way in Lakewood, around 8 a.m.

Lakewood police say a contractor hit a gas line, casing a gas leak. The gas leak then caused an explosion and sparked a fire.

Evacuated residents were allowed back in their homes after crews capped the gas and put out the fire.

There were no reported injuries.
