Cumberland County has no separate propane-storage ordinance; LP-gas is governed by the North Carolina Fire Prevention Code (NFPA 58). A key local rule: propane and charcoal grills may not be operated on combustible balconies or within 10 feet of combustible construction at multi-family buildings.
Residential propane cylinders are regulated by the North Carolina Fire Prevention Code (Chapter 61, adopting NFPA 58 LP-Gas Code), enforced by the Cumberland County Fire Marshal, rather than a county ordinance. NFPA 58 limits the aggregate quantity of LP-gas cylinders stored at or near a dwelling and requires cylinders be kept upright, outdoors, away from ignition sources and building openings. At apartments and condos, the Fayetteville Fire Department applies the code's ban on open-flame cooking devices, including LP grills, on combustible balconies or within 10 feet of the building unless it is fully sprinklered.
Storing or using LP-gas contrary to the fire code can lead to fire-marshal correction orders and code-enforcement action.
