Says fire started due to propane tanks exploding inside the home? Maybe they do things differently in D.C., but the only thing I can think of that would have a propane tank would be a grill. What else would there be propane tanks inside the home for? I'm missing something here....

In Texas if you live in the country, we use propane for all things heat...heater, water heater, stove and even dryer (totally stupid). large tank is outside but if you were just using it for stove (I prefer gas cooking)...you would put a small tank under a cabinet next to stove. they also make portable propane heaters which are supposed to be used in well ventilated area....like a barn. Every year though, some moron gases themselves inside of house or garage.... So it is totally possible.

Sure.. in rural Texas. This is a mansion in D.C. owned by wealthy arabs. I can't see UAE diplomats moving propane tanks around... for cooking, heating, or otherwise..

I wondered about this too. Is it even legal to have propane tanks inside the house? I'm thinking firechief safety might say otherwise. I can't imagine getting insurance from something like that, but they probably don't need the insurance money.

An article I read said it started in the kitchen.... And the fire was so contained that 3 people went and moved their cars. I call bullshit!
