Fire truck in Otilio Costa Rica caught in an apparent propane explosion. 

A common misconception of propane is that it is one of the main causes of fires in the United States. In fact, the National Fire Protection Association does not even list propane as a source of residential structural fires in the US. 
Accidents do happen due to propane misuse or other occurrences. Here are some common hazards associated with propane: 

* 	Leaking valves or connections: Rarely, propane will leak out of the valves or connections due to damage or improper installation.
* 	Damaged tanks: Propane tanks are tough, but can become damaged when heavy objects like trees fall on them. 
* 	External heat source, such as fire: House fires or wildfires are especially dangerous for bulk propane tanks. 
* 	Underground line damage: Yard work or construction can occasionally damage underground propane tank lines. If this happens, call 911 immediately.  
* 	Adverse weather events: Hurricanes and thunderstorms can damage propane tanks from falling debris or lightning.

Expect to find propane hanging low  along the surface of the ground , in basements or ditches  due to its vapor density being heavier then air.
