Juan Ignacio Espaillat, president of the National Association of Gasoline Retailers (Anadegas), disputes recent comments from the chief of the Firemen in the National District, Oscar Guillermo Garcia, regarding that the government needs to increase allotments to the firemen before authorizing the sale of propane in gasoline stations, as reported in El Caribe. Espaillat criticized the prevalent lack of government supervision mechanisms for the sale of propane, and mentioned that there have been 27 deaths so far in deaths attributed to inadequate handling of propane.
Espaillat said that Anadegas stations would only supply propane to vehicles that meet their gas installation norms. Anadegas seeks that the Ministry of Industry and Commerce authorize them to sell propane and natural gas in addition to gasoline and diesel. He argues they are purchasing the equipment to guarantee quality service and safety.
