A fire at a mobile home led to a propane tank explosion on Pecos Lane in Statesville on Monday.

Iredell County Director of Fire Services & Emergency Management Kent Greene said responders were still gathering information as the fire was being worked on at about 11:30 a.m.

"Crews are still on scene and are having difficulty completely extinguishing the fire. An excavator has been brought in to assist," Greene said.

Greene said the propane tank was on a camper next to the mobile home, and the fire caused it to explode. He said one person was treated for breathing difficulties and no other injuries have been reported.
