The study utilised a descriptive research design. The sample size was 60 managements and non-management staff from 5 LPG stations in Ikotun, Lagos. Data was collected by means of questionnaire. The data was analysed using descriptive statistics which is frequency and percentage; inferential statistics used includes Chi Square and Bivariate Correlation. The result revealed the following: There is no relationship between the level of awareness and the attitude of the gas stations’ workers on fire emergency; There is relationship between the level of awareness and the practice of the gas stations’ workers on fire emergency.
