The Office of Fire Prevention & Control is issuing this safety alert due to several incidents that have involved the use of propane cylinders inside of residential structures for heat. With the heating season upon us and the high cost of home heating fuels residents are trying to find ways to reduce costs. One way is through the use of small propane cylinders with an attached radiant heater. Small one pound and twenty pound cylinders have been found inside of destroyed structures in at least three fires reported to the Office of Fire Prevention and Control raising safety concerns for first responders arriving on scene. In at least two fires, firefighters could have been severely injured or killed while operating on the scenes of these incidents due to propane cylinders exploding inside the residences.
