Incident Report

**Propane Tank Leak Prompts Multi-Agency Fire Response in Wilna**

Dispatch radio traffic indicated that multiple fire departments responded to a reported propane tank leak near a structure at 22284 Boyd Rd in Wilna, NY 13619, around 3:00 PM. Carthage Fire, Deferiet Fire, Natural Bridge Fire, and West Carthage Fire were dispatched on a third-party neighbor report of a possible structure fire, though no active flames were confirmed initially. Carthage Chief 11-0-1 and Deferiet Chief 15-0-1 arrived on scene shortly after, with Carthage Police Unit 333 also en route; units switched to Fire Tac 1 for coordination.

Responders reported challenges shutting off the tank valve, prompting Carthage to request a representative from Chrisman Fuels. Additional apparatus, including Carthage Engine 11-1-1, Ladder 11-8-1, West Carthage Tanker 49-4-2, and Natural Bridge Engine 31-1-2, were dispatched before West Carthage units were cancelled and Deferiet reassigned to a separate stage 3 call. Natural Bridge Engine reported nearing the area, while an unrelated jet fire was noted at a bridge on 2nd Collins Street.

The incident was cleared by 3:29 PM after approximately 28 minutes, with Carthage command declaring all units available from Boyd Road and Natural Bridge confirming back in service, according to radio updates.
