Fair Lawn regulates the storage and use of liquefied petroleum gas through its fire prevention chapter, adopting Uniform Fire Code limits on cylinder size, location, and quantity for residential and commercial premises within the borough.
Propane cylinders must be stored outdoors in upright position, away from building openings, ignition sources, and means of egress, consistent with New Jersey Uniform Fire Code provisions adopted by Fair Lawn. Residential users are generally limited to small portable cylinders for grills and patio heaters, with strict limits on indoor storage. Commercial installations require fire prevention bureau review, certificates of fire code compliance, and may need separate permits for larger tanks or dispensing operations.
Improper storage can result in code enforcement orders, fire prevention violations, fines, and required removal of non-compliant cylinders.
