In the coming years, the Russian Federation is expected to see growth in the transport of liquefied natural gas by road, as well as its use as a gas engine fuel. Accordingly, in the event of road traffic accidents involving such vehicles, firefighters must use procedures that differ from those established for normal conditions. This article provides an overview and analysis of recommendations for dealing with the consequences of accidents involving vehicles carrying liquefied natural gas. A summary of international experience and the results of domestic experimental studies allows us to identify key measures to ensure the safety of personnel and the public, requirements for fire extinguishing equipment, and limitations on their use. The theoretical significance of this work lies in its comprehensive systematization of approaches to responding to road accidents involving liquefied natural gas, and its practical significance lies in its formation of a basis for developing an action plan and guidelines for fire departments.
