News 12 received a call from a relative of a person evacuated, which prompted an inquiry to police.

Officials say no leak was found and the source of the odor was believed to be from a passing propane tanker truck operating with an open valve.

The Goshen Fire Department issued a reminder for people  to call 911 if a gas leak is suspected, if hissing is heard from a natural gas or propane line, or if bubbling is seen in standing water where a strong odor is present.
