MILTON, Wash. – A propane fire in Milton forced the closure of State Route 99 in nearby Fife.

The Pierce County Fire Department says just before 3 p.m. Tuesday, firefighters arrived to find fire coming from a 500 gallon propane tank next to the Cedarwood Dome. Firefighters immediately began spraying water on it.

By 5 p.m. firefighters determined the danger of an explosion was over and by 6 p.m. the fire was out.

State Route 99 between Porter Way and North 70th Avenue East in Fife was closed while firefighters battled the fire.

The cause of the fire has not been released. Nobody was hurt.
