I rented a house in Pensacola and I needed it for about 4 months while I was building a home. I didn't have a big choice on rentals. Found a home that was about 30 years old, a little brick rancher but it had a brand new garage, all new ceiling, dry wall, new water heater, new doors. I asked why was the garage all new. They said a neighborhood kid was cutting the grass and when he filled the lawn mower with gas, he sat the can down but didn't put the cap back on the can. The fumes from the can floated across the floor to the water heater pilot and it exploded taking out the garage and killing one person in the kitchen. From then I said, I never want gas.
