Seminole County firefighters were able to burn off and subdue a propane tank that was leaking outside of an Oviedo home on Thursday.
Firefighters from the Seminole County Fire Department and Oviedo Fire Rescue responded last night at around 6:30 p.m. to Bentley Green Circle in Winter Springs after receiving a call regarding a gas leak.
Upon arrival, emergency personnel discovered a propane tank was leaking outside of a residence.
SCFD HazMat crews burned off the remaining 100 gallons of propane in the tank using a “red dragon,” which raises the burn off flare high above the ground and offers more control over the amount of liquid and vapor burned.
Once the gas was burned off, crews used water hoses to cool nearby surrounding areas.
No injuries were reported as a result of the incident.
