My parent's house was destroyed by a fire a few years ago due to a propane explosion.
The story was that the electricity went out and the safety valve in the boiler didn't work properly so propane started to flow into the room. Apparently propane goes down, not up as natural gas, so it accumulated in the lower floors. When my sister tried to restart the boiler once the electricity came back the spark ignited the propane and it exploded. I had to put away the flames in my sister with a carpet.
The firemen arrived 30 minutes later and managed to keep the damage only to the first floor.
So, be careful about safety issues!!!!
