HARRISBURG, Ill.--A training exercise last night for first responders prompted a lot of activity over on the east side of the city of Harrisburg.
The exercise focused on the handling of a fire on a propane tank...not an unlikely scenario here in southern Illinois.
Participating in the drill were Illinois Fire Service Institute, the University of Illinois, Yorkville Tech Center, Illinois Propane Education and Research Council, as well as local entities.
While our guys on the scene were joking with the personnel working it that there might be a big explosion that would rock the east side of town, there was little danger of that, as these experienced folks had it well in hand.
Here's a vid of how it went down:
