Rockledge Fire crews battle a fully involved passenger van with propane tanks


Rockledge Fire Department along with Rockledge Police were dispatched to the 3900 block of Montesino Drive in Rockledge Tuesday afternoon for a passenger van fully involved and in close proximity to a residence.  Crews arrived to find that the van had luckily been moved away from the house, however there was on board propane cylinders that were venting and creating large columns of fire.

Crews maintained a safe distance and quickly brought the fire under control without injury or further incident. 

Two other vehicles and two adjacent palm trees were damaged as a result of flying embers and radiant heat.

Video coming soon.
