Propane bottles have pressure relief valves that will cause them to vent rather than explode. Turns them into a blow torch, but no explosion.

I've had my share of emergency training dealing with chemical spills, etc. Firemen don't go up to RV's on fire with propane tanks inside.Timothy McGowen said:Much appreciated it can be done safely.

CG?Captm said:I kept mine locked using the factory lock that came with the door. Never had a problem in all the miles we traveled, until Port Angeles our new home.
Parked in the public lot between 1st and Front street and someone pop the door and took one of my cylinders. Crime of opportunity, I'm sure they were hoping for more than propane tanks behind the door that was easily opened. Now I pad lock it!
FYI, I see a lot FWC's traveling the Peninsula, Port Angeles in particular, be aware that we do have a auto break in problem at trail heads and in town.
Safe Travels!
You are absolutely correct. I find it interesting what others say fireman do and don't do and why. But then again I'm biased, just retired after 40 years in the fire service.Power Wagon said:A little knowledge is a dangerous thing
