General advice

If you suspect a leak, ring the Callow Emergency number on 0843 5065434 but call 999 immediately if there is any sort of fire

• Carefully assess the situation before approaching

• Ensure there is a safe route of access and escape available

• Stay upwind of any fire or escaping LPG

• Avoid coming into contact with the LPG, as it can cause severe cold burns and saturate clothing which may subsequently catch fire

NOTE: Any vessel involved in a fire may suddenly rupture. Change in the size or noise of the fire may be an indication, but there may be no warning. IF IN DOUBT, DO NOT APPROACH.

 

Fire

  • Shut all the valves on the tank/cylinders and the emergency control valve outside your house by turning them clockwise, if it is safe to do so
  • Call the fire brigade immediately and tell them that LPG is involved
  • Keep the tank or cylinders cool by spraying with water – if it is possible and safe to do so
  • Call the Callowgas Emergency telephone number

LPG vessels threatened by fire

  • Keep exposed surfaces of the vessels cool by spraying with water
  • Move cylinders (if applicable) – if this is possible and safe to do
  • Tackle the fire and establish a water curtain between it and the vulnerable vessel

Unignited LPG leakages

  • Leaks may be identified by smell, noise or frost at the source, by soapy water or a gas detector
  • NEVER SEARCH FOR LEAKS WITH A NAKED FLAME
  • Do not use electrical switches
  • Isolate the leak by turning off all the valves on the tank/cylinders and the emergency control valve outside your house
  • If the cylinder is portable, move it to a safe place if possible
  • Open all doors and windows for ventilation

Ignited LPG leakages

  • Cut off or reduce the supply of fuel at source, wherever possible
  • Call the fire brigade immediately and tell them that LPG is involved
  • Call the Callowgas Emergency telephone number
