Propane Safety Basics Every Homeowner Should Know

At Dan’s Propane, safety is our top priority — for your family, your property, and our team. Here are a few key propane safety tips that every homeowner should be familiar with.

🧯 1. Know the Smell of Propane

Propane has a strong, unpleasant odor — similar to rotten eggs or a skunk. This helps you detect leaks fast. If you smell gas, treat it like an emergency.

🔥 2. Keep the Area Around Your Tank Clear

Keep at least 10 feet of space clear around your tank. This helps with ventilation and makes it safe for our team to perform refills or inspections.

🚫 3. Never Store Propane Indoors

Propane tanks (including small cylinders) should always be stored outside in a well-ventilated area. Never keep them in garages, basements, or sheds.

✅ 4. Let Us Handle Repairs

If something seems off with your tank, regulator, or lines — don’t try to fix it yourself. Call us immediately at (308) 530-0211 and we’ll come take a look.

Safety starts with good information and a local team you can trust. If you ever have questions, don’t hesitate to call Dan’s Propane
