Sad start to holidays for someone, would've had to be a gas leak and an ignition source.

We should always check our gas system for leaks with soapy water, before a trip, and never travel with the fridge running on gas or the cylinders turned on. Gas cylinders don't "explode" unless caught in a fire so will be interesting to hear what happened.

The related item on the link brickies posted about the gas explosion at Casino is also interesting....
Thanks for the link brickies.

Both articles used the words "explode" referring to the gas bottles. Neither picture shows enough carnage for a bottle explosion. Just remember that these articles were written by journalists who don't know the difference between a fire and an explosiion. In these fires it's extremely rare for the bottle to actually explode.
