There are presented the results of evaluation of fire frequency in a year per one vehicle in operation and using compressed natural gas (CNG) or liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) as autogas (separate data on CNG and LPG vehicles are not presented, since the existing statistical base on fires is not subdivided by types of gas engine fuel used in vehicles) in Russia due to violation of arrangement and operation rules (VAOR) of gas equipment. The specified data is representative for enterprises for storage and maintenance of autogas vehicles. The data characterises the fire hazard of GBF, whereas such fire causes as arson, VAOR of vehicles, etc. are not actually implemented at the abovementioned enterprises.
