Propane is a flammable substance and one of several constituent gases that make up Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG), is the LP-Gas most frequently encountered by the Emergency Services Sector (ESS) responding to industrial, commercial, and consumer incidents.

The Emergency Management and Response-Information Sharing and Analysis Center (EMR-ISAC) notes that the Propane Emergencies Program offers training materials with life-saving information for the response sector.

The Propane Emergencies Program was created specifically for the emergency services
to protect their personnel at propane incidents at fixed facilities or in transportation. Among the training materials available on line are 20 complete propane incident scenarios. Each full scenario includes critical responder personal protection information. An "instructor's workshop" component features an eLibrary, general training tips and adult-specific training tips, changes and corrections to the program, and methods for
presenting it in 4-, 8-, and 24-hour formats. Additional program materials have a nominal charge.

Intended to be useful for fire and hazmat responders as well as EMS, rescue squad, emergency management, and law enforcement ESS members, the training materials can be accessed at http://www.propanesafety.com, the website of the Propane Education and Research Council.
