Fire officials on Friday confirmed to ABC11 that a small garage fire turned catastrophic when a liquid propane tank exploded at a home on Timberlake Drive on Raleigh's east side. New Hope Fire Chief Jimmy McCauley said the LP tank, a commodity used by many for their barbecue grills, was stored in the homeowner's garage. "Do not store these tanks inside the house," McCauley asserted to ABC11. "Keep them outside so that if there is a problem indoors it won't be affected."
