Dangers of propane tanks -

Dangers of propane tanks - being shot at. (Stray bullet, etc.)

While normally, propain is safe - but in the wrong place at the wrong time it can be deadly.  I found many many stories and news  reports of propane tanks exploding and causing injuries and death. 

why are these trucks owners are permitted to arrogantly drive around with potential bombs hanging from the backs of their canteens trucks?  A little bit of cure goes a long way.  Someone needs to insist that Fahrenheit (Rocco Whalen) move,  park and utilize his lethal weapon in a safer location - not in the mainstream of traffic where it creates hazardous and unsafe conditions simply by impeding the flow of traffic (and bullets).

There are a number of other organizations that govern the une/transportation of propane besides the law makers/breakers in the City of Cleveland. Some of them are:

1.  U.S. Department of Transportation; 2.  OSHA;  3.  American Society of Mechanical Engineers;  4.  American Peterolium Institute; and, 5.  National Propane Gas Association. 

"Once the bullet penetrates the compromised propane cylinder, the gas bottle itself becomes a deadly projectile with a mind and direction of its own. Shooting at propane cylinders and tanks in this manner can result in death."

Cars damaged, bystander hurt at school fundraiser

By Rob Ginter - Staff Writer Morehead News

A cookout fundraiser for the Rowan County high school girl’s basketball team turned scary Saturday.

“The Morehead Fire Department was notified at 5:20 p.m. on Saturday evening to respond to the Rowan County Senior High School that an explosion had occurred involving a grill,” Assistant Chief John Northcutt said. “While in route firefighters were notified that one subject had sustained burns from the explosion and an ambulance was called.”

“A small amount of fire was visible when we arrived,” Northcutt said. “The remainder of the fire was quickly extinguished once firefighters were on the scene. According to reports given to us, a gentleman was cooking on a heavily constructed grill being fueled by two 40-pound propane cylinders attached to a trailer,” Northcutt said. “It had caught on fire in the area between the propane tanks and the burners being the cause of the fire and explosion.”

Three vehicles sustained damage during the blast, according to Northcutt.

“Quick action by Farmers Fire Chief Darrell Glover helped decrease the intensity of the event,” Northcutt said. “Darrell Glover was attending the fundraiser and acted quickly to evacuate the area and help controlled the scene moving bystanders away from the scene. A bystander did attempt to extinguish the fire but Glover did the right thing having him evacuate the area.”

“Darrell was behind a brick wall several feet from the grill when it exploded,” Northcutt said. “He sustained burns to his head and hands and was transported to St. Claire Regional Medical Center and discharged.”

“At first I thought I thought I could put my gear on and go turn it off,” Glover said. “By the time I got to my truck and turned back everything was burning. Once everything got burning I was just trying to get everyone away from it.”

“I was around the corner from it and I thought I was safe when it exploded. I couldn’t even see it but the big ball of fire suck back into the corridor that I was in. The tank parts blew at least 210 feet away. I’ll heal and I’ll be all right but I’m just glad nobody got hurt.”

The explosion shaking the ground was felt and heard by those living in the area.

“It shook the house up pretty good,” Richard White said. “We thought the pipeline blew up and you could feel it outside.”

White could feel tremors from the blast at a Flemingsburg Road residence approximately a mile away.

“We had reports that the explosion was heard as far away as from Lowe’s to Copperas Hollow,” Northcutt said.

“Propane is heavy so it’s low to the ground and acts differently from natural gas,” Morehead Chief Jeff Anderson said. “What can happen if you put the fire out and you still have a leak is the gases can still continue to pour out to the lowest point it can find till it finds an ignition source.”

The fire is under investigation by the State Fire Marshall’s Office and the Morehead Fire Department. Also at the scene was the Morehead Police Department whose officers did reports on the vehicle damage.
