Anderson follows the Indiana Fire Code (based on the International Fire Code), which requires weeds, grass, brush, trash, and other combustibles to be kept at least 10 feet from LP-gas tanks and containers, with tanks properly sited and secured.
Propane (LP-gas) storage in Anderson is regulated through the Indiana Fire Code, which adopts International Fire Code Chapter 61 on liquefied petroleum gases. A core requirement is keeping combustible vegetation and debris clear of tanks: weeds, grass, brush, trash, and other combustible materials must be kept a minimum of 10 feet from LP-gas tanks or containers. Container siting, distances to buildings and property lines, and total storage quantities are set by the fire code and enforced by the fire marshal and local fire officials. Residential barbecue-size cylinders are generally exempt from permitting, but larger stationary tanks are subject to setback, protection, and inspection requirements.
Fire-code violations are enforced by the fire marshal and can require correction; failure to clear vegetation or meet siting rules may lead to abatement orders and penalties.
