State agencies are moving to tighten control over domestic LPG cylinders after a series of explosions claimed four lives this year.

Acting Chief Fire Officer Andy Hutchinson says a meeting was held with key stakeholders to address safety concerns and strengthen regulations.

A Trinidad Express report noted that between 2022 and July 2025, the Fire Service recorded 75 LPG-related incidents, including 29 fires and 46 leaks.

Among the measures being considered are adopting international safety codes, limiting the number of tanks per household, and stricter inspections and testing of cylinders.
