Document Description
On Saturday March 12, 2016 on CAL Fire owned property (Pine Grove Camp) in Amador County a large oak tree uprooted and fell striking two large bulk LPG tanks. The two tanks, one with 6,250 gallons of capacity, and the second with a 5,550 gallon capacity supply of all camp facility's propane needs. The oak tree toppled onto the larger capacity LPG tank shearing off the relief valve allowing approximately 3000 gallons of propane to escape. Emergency procedures ensued to stop the release of propane; this included the installation of a temporary relief valve on the larger tank. Representatives from Ferrell Gas, Cal OSHA, and CAL Fire's Northern Region Tech Services gathered at Pine Grove Camp to assess the damage, site conditions and make repair/upgrade recommendations.
