         No Comments

Firefighter Nate Flynn. Howard County, Maryland.
Battalion Chief Josh Laird. Frederick County, Maryland.
You know their names and should be familiar with the fires that cost them their lives.
What you may not be aware of is something called CSST-and how CSST was a contributing factor to both of their Line of Duty Deaths…and probably fires you’ve been to.

What Is CSST? And Why Firefighters Must Know. 

Lessons Learned from 2 Firefighter Line of Duty Deaths.

NO COST LEXIPOL WEBINAR 

*****THIS Thursday, April 6 | 1 pm Eastern*****

CSST, or Corrugated Stainless Steel Tubing, is utilized in homes across the country to deliver propane and natural gas. If lightning strikes on or near a structure with CSST, it can travel through the structure’s gas piping system, resulting in a gas leak or a fire. These fires and the presence of propane or natural gas in the structure can post unique risks and challenges to the fire response.

You probably have dwellings filled with CSST in your response area and may not be aware of how it plays a role in fires. Fires that can create “whack-a-mole” conditions of firefighters finding fire “here” and then also “there”…fires that may burn from the INSIDE out…and give you little initial clues, unless the history and facts are understood.

The major issue surrounding CSST gas piping is that, in the event of a lightning strike, the piping is not thick enough to prevent damage, which may lead to known potential for fire damage due to CSST pipe failure.

THIS THURSDAY APRIL 6, 2023 AT 1300 Hours Eastern…
