Incident: September 3, 2017 · Filed: September 3, 2017

WHILE REPLACING PREMATURELY RUSTING SCREWS UNDER MY TRAILER, I DISCOVERED THAT THE PROPANE GAS LINE THAT RUNS FROM THE TANKS AT THE FRONT OF THE TRAILER TO THE GALLEY AREA WAS NO LONGER PROPERLY SUPPORTED. AT ONE LOCATION, A STRAP THAT SECURES THE GAS LINE HAD NO SCREW. AT A SECOND LOCATION, THE SCREW HAD PULLED THROUGH THE HOLE IN THE STRAP BECAUSE THE HOLE IS TOO LARGE. THIS FAILURE ALLOWS THE IRON GAS LINE TO MOVE AND COULD RESULT IN A FRACTURE AND GAS LEAK. SINCE THERE IS FREQUENTLY OPEN FLAME IN THE VICINITY OF THE TRAILER (CAMPFIRES, GRILLS, REFRIGERATOR FLAME, FURNACE FLAME), THIS WOULD CREATE A SEVERE RISK OF FIRE OR EXPLOSION. ALSO, WHILE NOT ADVISED, IT IS COMMON PRACTICE TO TOW WITH THE GAS TURNED ON SO THAT THE REFRIGERATOR CONTINUES TO WORK. A FIRE COULD THEREFORE OCCUR WHILE UNDERWAY.
