As you all know fire departments across the country vary widely in size and resources, but every department understands the value of reaching the community with fire safety information. What better way to reach large numbers of residents than through newspapers, radio programs, and local television news?

QUICK RESPONSE – a free program of the United States Fire Administration - invites all fire service personnel to join the QUICK RESPONSE Media Corps (QMRC). The USFA will provide QRMC members with periodic e-mail bulletins with tips on media outreach and other support to firefighters interested in engaging local media, especially after residential fire deaths occur. QRMC members are also the first to know about important updates from USFA’s public education campaigns.

To join USFA's free QUICK RESPONSE Media Corps, please fill join online at: http://www.usfa.dhs.gov/fireservice/subjects/fireprev/qr/mediacorps....

QUICK RESPONSE MEDIA CORPS IS A NO-COST PROGRAM OF THE UNITED STATES FIRE ADMINISTRATION (DHS/FEMA).

Please copy this message into an e-mail and forward to your colleagues and neighboring fire departments!

Should you have any questions, please e-mail dneidlinger@hagersharp.com.

It can not be burried below grade level, I do believe it can be below the upper grade level but just not below the grade, this almost looks like a set-up cause I can not believe that a contractor would do something this dumb, but then again.

Static electricity common with plastic gas cans and the plastic interior trim of the mini-van could cause an explosion during the fueling process.

Does this guy not care about the fumes that will be lingering after he is done pumping gas into an illegal container, he closes the door and maybe kaboom if not then maybe when the key is turned on if he did shut off his vehicle. What about static electricity. What a J---

Exit sign is in-proper, the danger sign falling off the wall, unsecured drums and they too are probly not the right ones for storage and they are unmarked, no fan or exhaust system that I can see, and the big rusty tank I believe should be changed, I do see sometype of fan on the floor in all that liquid on the floor. In my eyes it needs to be shut down and cleaned and brough up to code. Never came across this before, but then again I worked on an air base and this if we had it would never have gotten this far.

Anything to keep the money flowing, Have seen similar before. Does this town have any local codes? I would guess not. Hard to enforce unless the AHJ really wants to push buttons! And I hope the local FD doesn't purchase their gas here.

First, is this stagged or is it for real. What a mess, fuel and gas(propane) I bet I will here the boom here in Tonawanda,NY. Seems like nothing is secured from tipping over on the propane side and the door does not seem to be locked so nothing can fall out. I am sure there is more, like being in front of a window.

I think I will just turn around and walk away whistling!!! Call the Fire Dept and have them handle it!! lol
Seriously, number 1 is the labeling of the tank. It is supposed to be mounted on supports, and it has to have a secondary basin for emergency spills, I BELIEVE it has to have a concrete basin big enough for half the capacity of the tank?? I could be wrong but thats why we are here!
Secondly, the tank is listing to its side which means the liquid contents are covering the vent hole for the gases to escape...(let me see, BLEVE, Boiling Liquid Expanding Vapor Explosion...) I pity the dept that has to cool that tank off if exposed to radiant flames from a truck fire or some other source of flame. It wont be able to vent the way it was designed! Good picture, I probably missed something else though so I will be quiet now and see what everyone else has to say! lol
