How Did the Incident Happen
According to initial reports, a woman at the house had cleaned the entrance area and lit a diya near the door as part of religious ritual when around that time the LPG cylinder delivery worker arrived at the house.
The worker had apparently no idea that gas was leaking from the cylinder. When it was brought close to the entrance the leaked gas is said to have reached the burning lamp and ignited immediately.
The incident shows how dangerous even a small gas leak can be if there is an open flame nearby. LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) is highly flammable and leaked gas will ignite quickly when it comes into contact with a flame or other ignition source.

LPG safety concerns come into focus
The Bengaluru incident has again brought to light the need to check LPG cylinders and connections during delivery households should ensure cylinders, regulators and connecting pipes are in good condition; any suspected leakage must be dealt with immediately by authorised personnel.
People should also not keep lit lamps, candles or other open flames near gas cylinders being handled or stored. If a gas leak is suspected residents should stay away from ignition sources, do not operate electrical switches and move to a safe location before calling emergency services or their gas distributor.
The incident is a lesson that daily household chores and everyday deliveries can become dangerous if basic safety precautions are not taken.
The delivery worker reportedly escaped the fire but it could have been much worse. CCTV footage shows what can happen when LPG leaks a warning to all cylinder delivery drivers about risks of LPG leakage and why they need to be more careful when delivering cylinders.
