The inferno, accompanied by loud blasts, left behind massive destruction of property forcing locals near the site to flee for their lives. Confirming the incident, Rabai Location Anthony Jawa said the destruction in the village was caused by bursting gas tanks, which were thrown to nearby houses. Mr Jawa said the impact of the destruction started from a main gas tank that burst and destroyed a perimeter wall and threw its blocks to nearby houses.
