Show us an example of a fuel station fire/explosion caused by an RV fridge.
Okay...no "explosion", though. Hopefully the propane tank just flared off 'til empty like it's supposed to when exposed to a fire.RV owner wrote:
Binder, 73, said the blaze started as he prepared to fill up the Roadtrek recreational vehicle and the nozzle spewed gasoline, igniting when it came into contact with a pilot light on the RV.
The light is accessible through a vent on the RV and connected to a propane tank that powers a refrigerator, he said.
"...Houma Fire Inspector Mike Millet said he was able to recreate how Binder explained the gas spill, and said it was possible. But Millet noted that’s a first for the department and he’s unsure if that’s how the fire started...."
I think the fire inspector not agreeing with the elderly owner speaks volumes.
Of particular interest is the claim the hose started spewing gas before he touched it and "jumped out of the holder"
I'm with the inspector I don't believe it either.
