The drywall, the garage door and the door to the house was all new on a house that was 30 years old. I asked the realtor about it and he said the previous tenant was cutting the grass and set the gas can in the garage without putting the cap back on. The flumes spread across the floor to the pilot light on the gas hot water heater and exploded. He said besides all the damage the folks lost their baby in the fire.
