UPDATE: 5:18 p.m. Propane gas tank catches fire near Lake Lemon

TREVLAC, Ind. – A propane gas tank caught fire around 3 p.m. Tuesday near several residences on Lake Lemon, sending dozens of firefighters rushing to the scene. \nThe closest residence, 5146 North Shore Drive, did not appear damaged by the fire which observers on the scene said sent flames shooting into the air. \nFirefighters attributed the fire to a leaky propane tank, located near the residence. \nRick Sawyers, the residence's owner, lives about a half-mile from where the tank exploded. He said when the initial explosions shook his house, he ran outside to see what had happened. \n“It sounded like a rocket took off three or four times,” he said. \nWorkers on the scene said they did not think anyone in the residence was home during the explosion. \nSawyers witnessed and videotaped the shooting flames and although he said he did not call emergency workers, he said they arrived on the scene in less than five minutes.
