Food Truck Safety Inspection Readiness

Food Trucks Offer Up Amazing Food

Food truck owners use propane for its capacity to cook foods quickly and easily, with minimal carbon emissions.

Before food trucks can operate, owners/operators are required to pass an annual fire safety inspection through their local fire department.

The safety inspector uses both state and national fire safety regulation checklists to ensure a safe operation, including reviewing the cooking unit/fuel source.

The Michigan Propane Gas Association has teamed up with Michigan’s fire experts. Learn more about standard operating procedures from our video (see right) and the information within the website.
