Natural gas tank mishap in Bergen

A cap blew off a propane tank at a residence at 7375 N. Bergen Road in Bergen. There's heavy natural gas smell and the house is being evacuated. Byron Fire Department is responding with mutual aid.

UPDATE 2:22 p.m.: Le Roy was called but then told to stand down.

UPDATE 2:29 p.m.: The 500-gallon tank was overfilled. The company which is responsible for the unit is called. Meanwhile, the firefighters are told to keep water on the tank to cool it down.

UPDATE 2:44 p.m.: The gas company crew is on location.

UPDATE 3:08 p.m.: Fire units are back in service. Burnwell Gas Co. is handling the equipment problem.

Having dealt with "Burnwell", I hope this customer gets the gas replaced without cost. That won't be easy, though...
