C.N. Brown employees burn propane gas from an unused underground tank at 313 Cumberland St. in Rumford on Tuesday while firefighters block a section of the street. Fire Chief Chris Reed said after more than five hours, some of the 450 gallons in the 1,000-gallon tank remained, so workers are expected to return Thursday to finish emptying it. The 50-year-old tank supplied a Chinese food restaurant and laundromat.
