@abc7newsbayarea: A propane barbecue on a first-floor exterior deck caused the massive fire that devastated a Foster City residential complex on Sunday, fire officials confirmed. Officials have fenced off and red-tagged the entire structure due to severe damage. #fostercity #fire #buildingfire #abc7news
so he violated the housing restrictions no open flame or bbq allowed on balconies... hes going to get sued to oblivion. Wonder how much the insurance will pay out and how many residents even have insurance...

This sucks because a lot of times renter’s insurance only cover 20-30k. Some people may have lost way more than that

There has to be more to this story. Propane tanks are extremely common and a story like this seems rare. So what actually happened. Millions of people have propane grills in their backyard and they don’t randomly blow up. What were the circumstances? Hood closed with gas on full, then it was ignited. If so, that is operator error rather than a tank malfunction? IMO, that distinction matters.
