A propane tank similar to the one shown hear was leaking and caused the evacuation of parts of Statesboro Monday evening.
A gas leak Monday night near Grady Johnston Mobile Home Park, just off Fair Road , led to the evacuation of the mobile home park, some nearby businesses and clients of Hometown Inn, said Bulloch County Public Safety Director Ted Wynn. "A ‘pop-off' valve malfunctioned and they couldn't get it to seal," he said. That meant the 500-pound natural gas tank had to be removed - dug up by hand.
