You know what is often at the bottom of scenes like that, the propane system.
Natural gas is methane, plus a little ethane. Methane is CH4, so it is lighter than our N2 + O2 atmosphere. If it leaks it will rise.
But to supply gas by bottles, they want it to be liquid at room temperature, so to have a higher boiling temperature there has to be a higher level of inter molecular forces so the molecules need to be bigger. So it is propane plus a little butane. Propane is C3H8. So it is heavier than air and it accumulates. In boats it will go into the bilge.
Usually when there are fires like this, it comes down to propane.
I had heard that there is work to develop a replacement for propane which they are calling Safe Gas. I don't know what exactly it is though. Can't find any online info about it.
This is a book I am reading, about Medical Child Abuse or Illness Falsification, what they used to call Munchausen's by Proxy Syndrome.

They show a picture of a double wide mobile home burned up just like the one in your picture. It was done by letting propane out so it accumulated everwhere, and to get the insurance money.
The same mother was getting set up to do the same thing in another state. She had now an adopted daughter who supposedly suffered from fetal alcohol syndrome. The mother was saying that she was a moron and she was not allowed to touch the propane stove. She was also getting all sorts of unnecessary medical procedures and unnecessary medication and the mother was under nourishing her too. So with this daughter and the stove she was preparing her cover story.
There are accounts of Dylan spending hours in a recording studio fiddling with the drawbars on a Hammond Tone Wheel Organ, just to get it to sound exactly the way he wanted.
