In Cleveland...
An leaking propane heater is blamed for an explosion at a distribution facility.
Fire officials believe a flame from a hot water heater ignited the leaking propane.
It happened around noon at Suburban Propane off Old Chattanooga Road.
No injuries were reported.
The fire was contained to the garage portion and roof of the building but caused an estimated 50-thousand dollars in damage.

"I was in my house across the street and heard a big boom...knocked the dishes off my counter. Sounded like someone dropped a bomb in my front yard."
Fire officials say they've only had a couple other incidents at this facility with leaking tanks.... and any threat to the neighborhood is no greater than living beside a gas station.
