Propane tank bursts into flames in flooded Georgia town

A propane tank went up in flames in a Georgia town on Thursday (November 5) amid severe flash flooding that slammed the area overnight.

Crews conducting swift-water rescues were diverted to the fire, which erupted at a building surrounded by floodwaters in McCaysville, in north Georgia. Firefighters were seen using a boat to reach the burning property.

The town was inundated by fast-moving water after heavy rainfall caused the Toccoa River to crest at record levels.

Local media reported the region received 8 to 11 inches of rain late Wednesday night.
