(KNZA)--Crews from multiple fire departments responded to a Brown County casino Wednesday night for the report of a large propane tank on fire.

The call came around 9:30 at the Sac and Fox Casino, located on U.S. 75 Highway, south of Fairview.

The Sabetha Fire Department said in a social media post " due to the very dangerous nature of the incident and size of the fire, a large response was assembled."

Besides Sabetha, responding were fire crews from Fairview, Powhattan, Kickapoo Tribe, Wetmore and Horton. Also responding were area law enforcement, Town and Country EMS and Squad 48.

The post said " firefighters from Sabetha assisted the other departments in controlling the fire so the gas could be shut off, at which point, the tank was cooled with water until the residual gas built up in the system could burn off."

There were no immediate reports of injuries or property damage resulting from the fire.
