The Atlantic Fire Department was called to a propane leak at 9:00pm Tuesday (9/24) at Olsen Fuel Suppl at 112 Commerce Street in Atlantic.

Upon arrival firefighters found a vapor return line had broken and a valve was left on that should have been shut off.  The leak was shut off without incident.  It is unsure the amount of gas that was lost but the leak was from a 30,000 gallon tank.

The leak was initially discovered by the Atlantic Police Department and they assisted at the scene along with the Cass County EMA and the owner of the property.
