Homes evacuated due to propane tank leak - WSMV Nashville



MURFREESBORO, TN (WSMV) -

Residents in a Murfreesboro neighborhood have been given the all-clear after a gas leak forced them to evacuate.


Crews responded to the propane gas leak at 1946 Cliffview Ct. around 8:30 p.m. Wednesday.


Officials were concerned the 500-gallon propane tank might explode, so 15 to 20 homes were evacuated as a precaution.


Amerigas was able to cap the tank's valves, and residents were allowed to return home by 1 a.m. Thursday.


The cause of the leak has not been determined.


Amerigas crews will be returning to the scene Thursday morning to investigate.
