Sioux Center, Iowa — There were some tense moments at a house being constructed in southern Sioux Center on Thursday.
According to Sioux Center Fire Chief David Van Holland, firefighters were called to the home, which is near The Ridge Golf Course’s clubhouse, south of 20th Street Southeast. The call, which came in about 2:30 p.m. said that there were open flames in the home, due to a propane line leak.
Van Holland says there was initially some confusion as to the actual address, but they did find it pretty quickly, three lots north of the clubhouse. He says they found a hose on propane heater was on fire as someone had “placed the heater too close to the tank.” He tells us that firefighters were able to quickly contain the fire and there was no damage to the structure of the home.
