Hanover, NH - Car 2, Engine 3, and Engine 6, staffed by C Shift along with recalled off-duty personnel, responded to a propane leak incident. Upon arrival, crews confirmed an actively venting propane tank and initiated protective measures to maintain scene safety.
A handline was promptly deployed to cool the tank and reduce the risk of escalation while units secured the area and maintained control of the incident.
Operations continued in coordination with the incoming propane company, which ultimately completed the safe transfer of product and brought the situation under control.
