Venting Cylinder

Venting Cylinder

Past

One crew from Amersham attended.

Firefighters were called to an Liquefied petroleum gas cylinder venting off inside a van.

The cylinder had a leak from the hose. A cordon was put in place by firefighters and nearby homes were evacuated and advice given to properties close by to keep windows and doors closed.

Firefighters removed the cylinder from the van, and monitored the cylinder until it had stopped venting.

Firefighters used:

  • Two breathing apparatus sets
  • One hose reel jets
