It may interest you to know that nearly all of the fires associated with the notorious Norcold recall units were electrical in nature; in most cases if propane wound up being involved at all, it was as a "bleve" reaction wherein the tank flares off due to having been superheated by the surrounding (non-propane-fueled) flames.
