On March 5 at 12pm, citizens and business owners in Warrenton and Fauquier County were shaken when an influx of calls came in regarding the smell of natural gas.

First responders and several other agencies responded immediately and activated the joint emergency operations center to assess the situation and provide for the safety and needs of the community.

Representatives from the utility provider, Columbia Gas of Virginia, responded upon receiving notification from officials.

Columbia Gas assures that the natural gas systems in Warrenton are just as safe now as they were before the reports occurred.

Updates will be provided as further restoration efforts and investigations into the cause of the smell go underway.
