Members of the Montgomery County HazMat team met near the Skippack Fire Company burn building to practice flaring propane tanks on Tuesday evening. This drill simulates what responders can do when a propane tank is damaged and leaking. The safest option to empty propane tanks (or trucks) can be flaring, or burning off the propane. The team practiced on a range of tanks include household sizes up to a propane delivery truck. Skippack firefighters stood by with a hoseline in case of an emergency. Several members of Skippack Fire Company are also members of the HazMat team.
