Propane Leak Minimized: How a Safety App Can Ensure Compliance and Save the Day
Magalia, California – On Tuesday morning, July 4, 2023, the Butte Unit of Cal Fire swiftly responded to a propane leak incident at Tri-Flame Propane in Magalia. The leak originated from a 20,000-gallon propane filler tank, prompting the initiation of a level three hazmat response in the vicinity of Skyway and Ehrlich Court.
Upon receiving the emergency call at approximately 8:20 a.m., firefighters sprang into action. Three extra fire engines and the specialized Hazmat 64 unit, designed for containing flammable liquids, were also dispatched by Cal Fire.
Fortunately, during the response by Cal Fire, an employee from Tri-Flame Propane managed to slow down and ultimately halt the leak, averting further potential hazards.Consequently, the number of incoming units was scaled back and subsequently canceled, although a few fire engines remained at the site as a precautionary measure.
