    Because an employee of an energy supply company who was sent to repair a leaky underground propane tank decided to let the propane that was in the tank seep out of the ground, an explosion occurred during the response to an odor of gas by members of the Loudoun County Combined Fire and Rescue System (LC-CFRS).
