Kentucky State Fire Marshal regulates LP-gas storage statewide under KRS 234.180 and 815 KAR 10:060, requiring NFPA 58 compliance and permits for installation of all flammable and combustible storage vessels.
Under KRS 234.180 and 815 KAR 10:060, the Kentucky Standards of Safety adopt NFPA 58 (Liquefied Petroleum Gas Code) as the statewide standard for all LP-gas (propane) storage, handling, and equipment installation. The State Fire Marshal's Hazardous Materials Section issues required permits for installation or modification of LP-gas storage containers. Container distance setbacks, transfer-station construction, tank sizing, and installer certification are all governed at the state level. Local governments may not adopt LP-gas storage standards that conflict with the state code, though they may enforce the state standards through local fire departments.
Installing LP-gas containers without a permit, failing to meet NFPA 58 setbacks, or operating without certified installers can result in stop-work orders, fines, and removal orders by the State Fire Marshal.
