    I also heard about this last Monday. Heard they were all burnt pretty bad.

    Hope they all come out of it okay. Not many thing worse than being burned.

    As Brain stated, be careful as be as safe as you can

    I hope all who were injured make a speedy recovery.

    I’m with you in saying that Pug. I have had a few bad experiences in my years with propane gas!

    Last weekend I screwed the 1lb can on in 0 degree weather and gas was spewing out. I thought maybe a pin was stuck. I think I could have just kept screwing and it would have sealed and been fine. I used it later. But that cold you really see how much propane is spewing out.

    I know the fear is pretty irrational considering the stopper and pressure on those cans, but it makes me nervous just the same.
