Man detained for 10 days for selling gas without a license August 30, 2017, 14:55 Source: Guangxi News Network-Nanguo Morning Post Mobile version Man detained for 10 days for selling gas without a license Guangxi News Network-Nanguo Morning Post, Nanning (Reporter: Zhao Min; Correspondent: Zhou Mingshan) In Dengleng Village, Xiaoyi Town, Hengxian County, Mr. Zhou operated a gas sales outlet without a license in order to make huge profits. He collected untested gas cylinders, took them to Binyang, Guigang and other places to fill them with gas, and then brought them back to sell to local villagers. On August 25, multiple departments in Hengxian County shut down this illegal gas sales outlet in accordance with the law, and Zhou was placed under administrative detention by the police for 10 days. On that day, officers from the Xiaoyi Police Station of Hengxian County Public Security Bureau carried out a thorough inspection of the area to identify potential security hazards. They learned that Zhou in Gengleng Village was storing and selling gas without proper certification, and so they immediately teamed up with departments such as the fire department and the gas management agency to head to Gengleng Village. At Mr. Zhou’s home, the inspectors found 47 untested gas cylinders, all of which were filled with gas, and Mr. Zhou did not possess a license to operate a gas business. According to Zhou, he has been running this gas sales outlet since 2015. As it is located in a residential area and his premises did not have any fire safety measures in place, he has been unable to obtain a gas business license. Due to the lack of a license, Hengxian Gas Company refused to fill it up for him. In order to make huge profits, he collected some empty cylinders while delivering gas to the villages, then took them to places such as Binyang and Guigang to fill them with gas, before bringing them back to sell to the local residents. Last year, the Hengxian Gas Management Office issued a notice ordering Zhou to cease his business operations, but he ignored it and continued to store, transport, and sell gas cylinders that had not passed the necessary testing, in violation of the law. At present, Zhou’s gas sales outlet has been sealed up, and the substandard gas cylinders have been confiscated in accordance with the law. Zhou was placed under administrative detention for 10 days by the police for illegally producing, storing, transporting, and selling flammable and explosive hazardous materials.

A man from Zhijiang was detained for 5 days for illegally transporting flammable and explosive hazardous materials. Hot news from Sanxia Yichang Network, 2017-08-10 14:57. I want to share this. 1 (Original title: Man in Zhijiang detained for 5 days for illegal transport of flammable and explosive materials). According to reports from Sanxia Yichang Network (reporter: Liu Tingting), since the start of the summer safety campaign, the fire department in Zhijiang has worked more closely with local police stations to enforce laws strictly and crack down on any violations related to fire safety. On August 9, the city’s fire department and Qixingtai Police Station jointly imposed a five-day administrative detention sentence on Yang for illegally transporting hazardous materials (flammable and explosive substances). At around 17:00 on July 28, 2017, Yang was driving a small truck carrying 32 liquefied gas cylinders (filled with liquefied petroleum gas) when he was caught on the Tengjiahe section of National Highway 318 by fire safety inspectors and police officers from the local police station who were conducting joint law enforcement operations. As Yang was suspected of illegally transporting hazardous materials (flammable and explosive substances), law enforcement officers seized 32 units of liquefied petroleum gas in accordance with the law. Upon investigation, it was found that Yang did not possess a license for the road transport of hazardous goods; his pickup truck was a non-commercial vehicle and did not meet the requirements for transporting hazardous materials. Yang confessed truthfully to the fact of illegally transporting flammable and explosive hazardous materials, and deeply regretted his wrongful actions. Given that Yang’s actions constitute the illegal transportation of hazardous substances (flammable and explosive materials) in violation of relevant fire safety technical standards and regulatory provisions, in accordance with Article 62, Paragraph 1, Item 1 of the Fire Protection Law of the People’s Republic of China and Article 30 of the Law of the People’s Republic of China on Public Security Administration Punishments, Yang is sentenced to five days of administrative detention. At present, Yang has been taken to the Zhijiang City detention center to serve his sentence.

According to China Police Network, on June 20, the Anlu police imposed an administrative detention penalty on Cheng, the person who was in violation of the law by storing such hazardous materials. 　　At around 9 a.m. on June 20, police officers from the Bofan Police Station of Anlu City Public Security Bureau received a tip through the “Three Roles for All Police Officers” program; someone in the area was storing canned liquefied gas at home, posing a serious threat to the safety of the residents living nearby. Upon receiving the tip, the police officers from the station rushed to the relevant area to conduct an investigation. Through their inquiries, they quickly discovered that a resident named Cheng had stored more than twenty cans of liquefied gas in his home. By keeping storage facilities for flammable and explosive materials in the same building as his residence, Cheng was violating Article 23, Paragraph 1 of the Fire Protection Law of the People’s Republic of China; his actions constituted an illegal act of storing such hazardous materials.

Then how should household liquefied gas cylinders be classified? Some families have one bottle, some have two; how many bottles constitute the critical value?

That’s a great question! You can post a thread
