What should you NOT do in the event of a fire involving LP-Gas?

In the case of a fire involving LP-Gas, attempting to extinguish it with water is not advisable. Water can spread the fire, as LP-Gas is lighter than water and can float on top of it, potentially causing the flames to spread further. Instead of suppressing the blaze, water may inadvertently increase the risk of the fire spreading or worsening an already dangerous situation.

When addressing a fire involving LP-Gas, the appropriate response includes measures such as calling emergency services to ensure that professionals equipped to deal with gas-related fires can take over, evacuating the area to protect individuals from the risk of explosion or fire spread, and, if safe to do so, using a fire extinguisher rated for flammable gases. Each of these actions focuses on safety and effective fire management without jeopardizing life or property by using ineffective methods.
