Garfield enforces specific propane safety standards for food trucks and mobile vendors, requiring secured cylinders, leak-free hoses, and posted no-smoking signage near tanks.
Under Garfield's Uniform Fire Code enforcement (Chapter 142) and Mobile Food Handlers chapter, propane cylinders mounted on the outside of any food vehicle must be properly secured to prevent tipping. Hoses and connections must be free of leaks, and a 'no smoking' sign must be prominently displayed in the vicinity of propane cylinders. The Fire Official enforces the New Jersey Uniform Fire Code in all buildings and premises within the City. Larger industrial propane storage falls under state UFC standards.
Unsecured cylinders, leaking hoses, or missing no-smoking signage may result in fire code citations, license suspension for mobile vendors, and inspection failure.
