Henderson Fire Department enforces NFPA 58 through HMC Title 7 and the adopted International Fire Code, limiting residential propane cylinder size, exchange storage, and indoor placement, with permits required for stationary tanks above small thresholds.
Henderson Fire Department adopts the International Fire Code and references NFPA 58 Liquefied Petroleum Gas Code through HMC Title 7. Residential properties may store typical barbecue cylinders up to 20 pounds outdoors with separation from openings and ignition sources. Stationary tanks larger than threshold capacities require HFD permits, setback compliance from buildings and property lines, and proper anchoring. Indoor storage of propane cylinders is generally prohibited inside dwellings. Cylinder exchange cabinets at retail must be lockable, ventilated, and located away from exits. Henderson follows Clark County metro fire-code guidance and requires HFD inspections of new tanks before fueling under contractor permit closeout.
Improperly stored propane can trigger HFD correction notices, fines starting near 250 dollars, and requirements to remove or relocate tanks. Repeat violations or fires can lead to misdemeanor charges and permit revocation.
