How NOT to manage a Propane Release scene! (Video)

Just when we think we have seen it all, someone rises to the occasion to demonstrate the bottom of the barrel must be a bottomless pit!  Folks, this is so wrong I can not imagine the fire company publishing it on Youtube.  Maybe it was a citizen with a cell phone… but how could a citizen be standing that close? Check out the wind direction, look up the vapor density of propane, look up the LEL of propane and see if you can figure out what is so horribly wrong with this response.  Can anyone tell where the hot zone ends and the warm zone begins?  I am at a loss… and the person in the fluorescent green shirt… well it is a “safety colored shirt” so he/she must be safe!  For petes sake someone throw them a 2012 DOT ERG!!!!!
