What is the emergency response action for an LP-Gas fire?

The recommended emergency response action for an LP-Gas fire is to evacuate the area and call emergency services, ensuring that no attempts are made to extinguish the flames with water. This is because water can react with LP-Gas, potentially leading to an explosion or intensifying the fire.

In the case of an LP-Gas fire, the proper approach is to maintain a safe distance, alert emergency personnel, and allow trained firefighters to handle the situation. Firefighters may use specialized methods and equipment to extinguish LP-Gas fires, which are more effective and safe compared to inexperienced attempts using water or other improvised measures.

The choice to do nothing and wait for the fire to burn out is not advisable as it can pose serious risks to safety and property. Similarly, using a fire blanket would generally not be effective with a gas fire, as the flames may be too intense or widespread, making it impossible to smother effectively.
