A small fire at the port on the lower west side in one of the sheds just before noon today.
The building was evacuated after a machine caught fire and a propane tank exploded.
Platoon Chief Eric Garland tells CHSJ News no one was hurt.
He says crews were able to knock down the fire quickly. He says it appears there was a release of propane possibly from the relief valve on the cyclinder which he says can be explosion-like when it goes off.
Garland says four companies responded initially but a lot of resources were released after the fire was knocked down.
He says the remaining crews were on scene between 20 and 30 minutes.
