A crew from Peterlee fire station was called to allotments in Holme Hill Lane, Easington Colliery, at around 6,30pm last night, Wednesday, July 24.
They removed the cylinder and used a temperature monitor to keep track of its temperature until it had cooled enough to be safe
No livestock was involved in the fire but a row of sheds was destroyed.
The fire is being treated as suspicious.
