The Attala County Fire Department responded to a gas leak Wednesday evening on Attala Road 1116.
According to ACFD Chief Tim Cox, firefighters arrived to find a vehicle parked on top of a 250 gallon underground propane tank.
The vehicle reportedly damaged the main valve of the tank, causing propane to spew out with the vehicle still running and parked over the leaking tank.
Firefighters evacuated the nearby home and secured the vehicle while waiting for the gas company to arrive
Once gas company personnel was on scene, crews came up with a plan to safely stop the leak using their lifting airbags to raise the vehicle off the damaged valve.
After the vehicle was lifted, crews were able to secure the leak and bring the situation under control. No injuries were reported.
