Response for fuel leaks
Ascertain type of incident: fire, spill, fire with spill.
From a distance (500 feet) use binoculars to look for placards or other warnings and the
product name or number on the tractor or trailer.
Get information from people on the scene (driver, eyewitnesses, shipping papers or other
identifying paperwork).
Determine scope of incident: number of involved vehicles and/or people affected.
Determine best scene access.
Determine water supply.
Pay extra concern to exposures. Allow the tanker truck to burn and assign units
cool/protect the exposures.
Remember that the tractor or uninvolved portion of a multi-unit (tractor trailer or multiple
trailers with a single tractor) is an important exposure. It may be necessary to disconnect
the tractor or unhitch a trailer and remove it from exposure. Diking around the vehicle or
damming a drainage ditch may be required to limit a running-spill fire.
Use master streams or other unmanned heavy caliber streams to keep suppression
resources remote.
Attack from high ground with the wind at your back, checking for any overhead wires
and coordinating streams so they do not oppose each other. Flush the fire away from
exposures and into less hazardous areas. If agent is limited, use it to protect exposures.
Agent that runs off is wasted. Do not wash away foam blankets with water streams.
Send
Give a situation report to communications.
Request additional resources as needed (such as hazardous material, foam).
Initiate evacuations as needed; request law enforcement to assist.
Warn any incoming units of hazards.
Set Up
Establish and maintain command until relieved.
Declare an operational mode: offensive, defensive, non-intervention.
Establish a staging area.
Set up scene access and egress.
Set up a perimeter using fire line tape or other means.
Establish an isolated holding area for personnel or victims who become contaminated.
Patient Triage
Consider both the patients for triage as well as vehicles and any other problems which
may be occurring or have occurred.
Assign units to triage people or problems – you may have to step back from the incident
and send in a reconnaissance team in appropriate PPE to check the situation. The team

Response to Flammable Liquid Emergency Incidents, Second Edition Final Version – April 2014
should go in slowly and use combustible gas indicators and explosion proof lights and
radios – and stay out of observed spills.

•Additionally, during operations at this incident, the gas concentration is determined to be 50% LEL.
•List all of the actions you would take
Establish Command and Give Size-Up
• Assume Incident Command and provide an initial report:
“E444 on scene of a 3-story garden apartment with a reported inside gas leak. Initiating investigation and establishing Garden Apartment Command.”
- Scene Size-Up
• Identify:
• Occupancy type (multi-unit)
• Utilities access (meters, shutoffs)
• Occupants still inside
• Access/egress points
• Wind direction (affects gas dispersal) - Evacuate the Immediate Area
• Evacuate the affected unit and adjacent units (above, below, beside).
• Expand evacuation as needed once meter readings are confirmed.
• Keep occupants upwind and at a safe distance. - Control Ignition Sources
• Do not operate any electrical switches.
• Prohibit smoking, radios, flashlights, or other electronics in the hazard zone.
• Do not use fans or mechanical ventilation.
• Request the power company to secure electricity if needed. - Investigate with Gas Monitor
• Enter with full PPE and a calibrated 4-gas meter.
• Monitor for:
• % LEL (flammability)
• Oxygen levels
• Carbon monoxide
• Check low areas (gas may sink) and potential accumulation zones.
⸻
⚠️ WHEN GAS CONCENTRATION IS AT 50% LEL
🔴 6. Immediately Withdraw All Personnel
• A 50% LEL reading is a dangerous, explosive atmosphere.
• Order an immediate withdrawal from the affected structure.
• Do not re-enter until levels drop well below 10% LEL.
🔴 7. Upgrade the Incident
• Request:
• Hazmat Team
• Gas utility company
• Battalion Chief
• Additional suppression or EMS units if needed
• Notify all units on-scene of hazardous conditions.
🔴 8. Establish Hot, Warm, and Cold Zones
• Hot Zone: Interior and immediate exterior of affected unit
• Warm Zone: Staging/entry control, PPE required
• Cold Zone: Command post, public/occupant holding area
🔴 9. Shut Off Gas Supply (If Safe)
• Attempt to isolate the individual unit’s gas supply if the shutoff is external and accessible.
• If unsafe, wait for the gas utility to arrive and secure the system.
⸻
🟡 POST-WITHDRAWAL ACTIONS
- Ventilate Naturally (ONLY If Safe)
• Open windows and doors from a safe location and only with Command approval.
• Avoid powered fans or equipment that could cause sparks.
• Let the gas dissipate and monitor atmosphere continuously. - Continue Atmospheric Monitoring
• Periodically recheck readings inside and outside the affected areas.
• Re-entry is only permitted when readings are consistently below 10% LEL and confirmed by Hazmat or command staff.
