A little after 2-a.m. today (Tuesday), Atlantic Fire was dispatched to a possible fire at Duke Aerial, Inc., at Highway 71 and Boston Road. According to Firefighter John Johnson, a propane leak on a line leading to a pre-heat mixer was leaking at a fitting, creaking a sort of “blow torch” effect. No structures were nearby, and no injuries were reported. The owner was notified and the valve was shut-off until repairs could be made.

Crews were on the scene for about 20-minutes.
