LIMA TOWNSHIP, Wis. (AP) -- Crews have a fire under control after a propane tanker exploded at a farm cooperative in southern Wisconsin.
Rock County 911 supervisor Brian Becker says the explosion happened Friday at a Cooperative Plus facility near the city of Whitewater.
Sheriff's Capt. Jude Maurer says 13 fire agencies responded and had the blaze under control within an hour.
Maurer says the blast tore holes in the sides of a metal building where a worker was transferring propane from a storage tank to a delivery tanker. The worker was able to run out of the building before the explosion. No one was hurt.
Wisconsin Emergency Management says the truck, carrying 3,400 gallons of propane, was engulfed in flames. The fire also damaged a nearby building.
Wisconsin Highway 59 was closed but has since reopened.
