Sioux Falls Fire Rescue enforces NFPA 58 and the adopted International Fire Code on residential propane storage, capping cylinder size and requiring setbacks from buildings, ignition sources, and property lines.
Sioux Falls Fire Rescue inspects residential propane installations using NFPA 58 and the International Fire Code adopted under Ch. 33. Portable propane cylinders for grills are limited to two 20-pound tanks per dwelling stored outdoors, upright, and away from doors and windows. Larger 100-pound cylinders or fixed tanks require permits, setback compliance, and qualified installation. Indoor storage of LP gas inside attached garages or basements is prohibited. SFFR responds to complaints of leaking tanks and works with the supplier on safe purge and repair.
Improper storage may result in tank confiscation, code citations under Ch. 33, and red-tagging until corrections are inspected and approved by SFFR.
