Signs of an Impending Natural Gas Explosion

1. The cylinder is distended and entirely blackened, indicating a critical explosion hazard!

2. The flame has shifted to white, emitting a sharp hiss. The original orange-yellow flame has transitioned to white, and the ‘whoosh’ has become a ‘hiss,’ suggesting it could explode any second. Furthermore, the abrupt disappearance of sound and flame is a tell-tale sign of imminent explosion!

3. A steel gas cylinder lying on the ground and ablaze is a ticking time bomb! Do not approach it; evacuate the area quickly!
