The news is not speculating about the cause of the apartment fire in Emmaus that killed four. Usually I think (a) natural gas, (b) meth lab, (c) oxygen tank in that order. Does anyone know that area? Do they have gas?

I don't think they know yet. Terrible tragedy! Emmaus apartment building fire kills four people - mcall.com They said the explosion may have been caused by an oxygen tank that one of the people had in their apartment.

In many ways pure oxygen can be as dangerous as gasoline. Possibly more so, because with gasoline the odor has people so on edge that they are careful. Nobody would light a match near gasoline, but idiots will do it near oxygen,

NJ fire caused by oxygen tank.
