A propane leak on Keofferam Road in Old Greenwich forced the evacuation of three homes on Friday, July 10, 2026, the Greenwich Fire Department confirmed.

Firefighters and utility personnel responded to the residential street and were monitoring conditions while a propane company worked to make repairs, the department said. The Greenwich Fire Department advised residents near Keofferam Road to use caution while crews remained on scene.

The department did not identify the propane company involved or provide a specific time for when the leak was first reported.

As of Friday morning, the Greenwich Fire Department had not issued a follow-up statement confirming whether the leak had been fully resolved or whether evacuated residents had been cleared to return to their homes. No injuries were reported in connection with the incident.

The department also did not name a spokesperson or incident commander overseeing the response. The number of firefighters deployed to the scene and the type of equipment used were not disclosed.

Propane leaks fall under the Greenwich Fire Department's hazardous materials response protocol. The department, a combination force of career and volunteer firefighters, handles more than 4,200 emergency calls each year across Greenwich, according to the department's own published data.

The GFD's standing safety guidance instructs anyone who smells propane to move away from the source immediately and call the fire department. Residents should not return to an affected area until emergency personnel give the all-clear.

Keofferam Road sits in a residential section of Old Greenwich. The evacuation of three homes suggests the leak was significant enough to pose a risk beyond the immediate property where it originated, though the fire department did not characterize the severity.

Residents who smell gas or suspect a propane leak anywhere in Greenwich should call 911 immediately. The Greenwich Fire Department advises against attempting to locate or fix a leak without professional assistance.
