Hartford propane storage must comply with the CT State Fire Safety Code adopting NFPA 58 limits on cylinder size, separation distances, and indoor storage prohibitions, with Hartford Fire Department enforcing residential and commercial inspections.
Hartford Fire Marshal applies NFPA 58 through the CT State Fire Safety Code (CT §29-291) to all liquefied petroleum gas storage. Residential cylinders are capped at 100-pound water capacity outdoors, with no indoor storage of full cylinders inside dwellings. Commercial installations require permits, separation distances from buildings, ignition sources, and property lines based on aggregate water capacity, and crash protection for vehicle-accessible tanks. Bulk storage above 2,000 gallons triggers state-level review. Restaurants using rooftop or sidewalk propane heaters need Hartford Fire approval and permitted enclosures meeting NFPA 58 §6.20.
Stop-use orders, fines up to $1,000 per violation, removal of cylinders, business-license suspension, and criminal referral for willful endangerment.
