Default At least no one was hurt, gratefully!

In that part of TV, the houses are all electric. I have been in garages of homes with gas water heaters in the garage, and with gas golf carts having no standards (as cars do) and perhaps other issues with gas tanks on these carts, the stench of gasoline can be overwhelming. It's not an arbitrary spark that can cause a fire in this situation. There is a pilot light on all the time in a gas water heater!
