Little Rock follows the Arkansas Fire Prevention Code (NFPA 58) for propane cylinder and tank storage. LRFD limits aggregate cylinder capacity at single-family homes, requires distance from buildings and ignition sources, and inspects commercial sites annually.
The Arkansas Fire Prevention Code, adopted under AR §12-13-101 and applied locally by the Little Rock Fire Department, governs propane storage. Single-family homes may store small barbecue cylinders and limited aggregate capacity for residential use; larger above-ground tanks require setbacks from buildings, lot lines, and ignition sources per NFPA 58 tables. Multi-family buildings have stricter rules, and storage on balconies of buildings over a certain height is prohibited. Commercial users such as food trucks and contractors must obtain LRFD permits and pass annual inspections. Cylinders must be stored upright and protected from impact.
LRFD inspectors may issue notices to abate, embargo cylinders, and refer aggravated cases for Class B misdemeanor prosecution under state fire code adoption.
