This manual is a supplemental guide for public safety first responders to compressed natural gas (CNG) or liquefied natural gas (LNG) vehicle fuel system incidents.

It does not cover response tactics for liquefied petroleum gas (LPG or propane) or CNG vehicle fuel systems using Type 1 or Type 2 CNG cylinders.

This manual is not intended to replace any formal training on the proper response techniques, tactics, or procedures for responding to alternative fuel vehicle (AFV) accidents or incidents.

IMPORTANT:

Always consult the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and your own training programs for the latest information and best practices for CNG and LNG emergency response.
