Propane Explosion in Chattahoochee Hills Kills One Person
A propane explosion in Chattahoochee Hills killed one person on Tuesday, February 5, 2019. The blast happened near the intersection of Cochran Mill Road and Cedar Grove Road in South Fulton County, Georgia. It was so strong that it broke windows in neighboring houses, set trees on fire, and was heard for miles.
According to the medical examiner, the victim of the tragedy was Charles Miller. He was 83 years old.
Jim Little, Police Chief of Chattahoochee Hills, reported that when officers arrived on the scene, “they found a house with some obvious damage and there was one person dead.”
According to WSB TV2 in Atlanta, investigators believe a propane tank attached to the home blew up. Chief Little said, “It appears to be some type of gas.” Investigators don’t yet know what made the tank explode.
Fire support was sent to Chattahoochee Hills from the nearby town of South Fulton, according to a Facebook post by its mayor, William Bill Edwards.
