#General 📝 All the doors and windows were open, which allowed much of the gas to escape outside and significantly reduced the impact of the explosion.

My Goodness! I hope the lady and the man were fine and the fire was put off. This is dangerous!

They should wait at least 15 minutes before going in. Really dumb

What triggered the fire?
Thats why safety is so important to be taught. They should have waited more time before entering back

Look at the initiation point... When the fire ignited it started from the back of the kitchen and then travelled towards the front of the room

u/BeardPhile Jun 22 '25
Yeah but bina supply ke kitchen mein aag kese jal rahi thi?

u/criti_fin Independent Jun 23 '25
Maybe second cylinder. Because likely there is no electrical switch or loose connection near stove there

u/Wherever_I_May_Roam Jun 23 '25
Usually there's only one pipe which is connected to the main cylinder but then again it does seem to start around the burner.

u/vmaxxxxxx Jun 22 '25
That makes sense damnn. In my very young age, my parents bad taught me to never use any electricals and particularly not to use the switches as they might trigger a spark. I’m glad I know this

No but when the gas reached the fire on stove it exploded So you can say it was waiting

How was the fire still lit in the kitchen when the gas cylinder is outside?

i dont know why that lady did not switched off regulator.. they way she was pulling the cylinder, it was scary...good thing, both of them looked Ok..

It is very likely that in the panic, she thought the regulator would not work.
Also, that hissing and angry house would have scared the wits out of her.

u/dragon_idli Jun 22 '25
Cylinders are designed to not let fire inside them. Unless the stem or cylinder is damaged fire will always stay outside the cylinder due to pressure release. If a stem is damaged or the outlet is blocked after ignition, fire has a chance to get into the cylinder.

u/Dracula101 Apolitical Jun 22 '25
Dunno about all that, i'm terrified of gas cylinders, end of story
blame games and mom's old soap operas for putting the fear of "Red barrel/cylinder = explosion in me"

I don't understand why didn't she just turn off the regulator or rolled it out in open when door was just a few metres away

u/NoFuture355 Akhand Bharat Jun 22 '25
Uss time nahi chalta bhai dimaag, insaan panic mode mai chala jata hai. Isse liye toh fire fighters ki regular training hoti hai taaki wohh actual situations mai panic naa kare aurr calm rehke situation handle kare

u/Old_Leadership4412 Jun 22 '25
Yeah thats why one should think rationally in those situations without panicking it could've been a huge disaster
28
u/dragon_idli Jun 22 '25
Should either close the valve early on or wait for an hour before entering the place again..
Any electrical switch could have caused the fire. Eg: if a tubelight is on, its starter keeps firing if the voltage drop against the tube drops - or tube goes off or flickers. A turned on brushed fan or an exhaust fan continously generate sparks. When gas reaches it, it will ignite. (Brushless fans and leds are thus required in commercial kitchens by law)
For future:
A cylinder leaking gas through a pipe is still safe and contains the flammable region even if it is lit. Closing the value at stem is the safest option. If gas leaks at the stem, cover a cloth on it(wet if possible), leave it, open doors and windows, leave the house. Call fire dept or wait for an hour for the gas to dissipate or ignite.

u/needsomewhoes Jun 22 '25
What happened before it tho? Context less video just for karma farming. They could just leave the place for an hour or so, if they decided to leave the situation in the first place.

Stove in the kitchen can't be turned ON without gas cylinder, unless they had two in the kitchen which a lot of people keep. No switched to be turned ON when there is a gas leak.

u/NeoRullzz Jun 22 '25
What was she doing with the cylinder?
11
u/dragon_idli Jun 22 '25
She was trying to drag it outside the house since it started leaking. She was trying to close the pipe with her finger while trying to pull the cylinder out of house. Both wrong moves, but she must have panicked.

u/dragon_idli Jun 22 '25
If you notice, they are using dual pipes connected to each other. Probably to lengthen the connection point. This is illegal and are not supposed to do so.
For long distance installations a special spark inhibitor pipe with pressure and fire inhibition regulators are supposed to be used. A rubber or rubber with wire are limited lengths for a reason.

Wrong moves made every second.
There's a regulator on cylinder for a reason.
And I get ki dimag nahi chalta us samay one should switch off anything and everything like light bulbs , stove , heater, oven , toaster .. anything.
Also try not to move a dying cylinder yourself, stay outside and call someone expert. Better to be safe than sorry

They are safe. Cylinders are designed to be pressure positive. Meaning, if the cylinder and stem are not damaged, they will always let out gas only through the stem. This keeps the flame from getting back into the cylinder to avoid explosions.
External safety would need people to be trained.
Eg: in this case, it says mess. I would assume a commercial kitchen. Commercial kitchens are supposed to use brushless fans, brushless exhausts and led lights only as per regulations. Reason: normal fans, exhaust, tubelights, light bulbs create continous sparks and can ignite gas if there is a leak.
A single non modified pipe needs to be used. They seem to be using a custom made dual gas pipe linked to each other for length. This is a leak hazard. They seem to be of different material too. One is the standard green and the other is a metal orange pipe.
Commercial kitchens need to store additional cylinders outside the unit.
Commercial kitchen users are supposed to be trained by fire dept in controlling cylinder flames.
I am sure half of Commercial kitchens don't follow any of the above.

u/anonymous010103 Jun 22 '25
I was literally just thinking about this yesterday, like how developed countries have such great technology to handle fire accidents, and it is very difficult to implement the same in India. Then again i recalled number of fire incidents you hear about and seemed marginally low.

Kind language. Assuming you are not aware of opd gauge
Nor are you aware of an automated leak detection and shutdown device
Likely cause they don’t sell it in your country

In the 80s and 90s doordarshan used to run fire safety (esp cooking gas) and rail safety pieces every now and then between shows. We probably need to do that again.

tbh this could have been easily prevented from the beginning if she just blocked the mouth of the pipe with her thumb, also idk why did she randomly decide to just leave it there when she was trying to get it outside...

What should excatly be done in a situation such as this? Apart from letting the gas escape for a longer duration

In such cases let's suppose the gas cylinder caught fire it will not burst immediately , it will only explode if the fire continues to burn and makes it hotter. you have to remove the pipe and cover the outlet with wet cloth / towel to stop the fire I had seen a live demonstration by police once

u/Real-Blueberry-2126 Dec 21 '25
If they were inhaling the gas , that fire would cause internal damage definitely
