According to investigators, a leaking propane tank had filled the garage of

entered the garage to check on a hissing noise.

My bet, arc from the light switch. Most fire codes these days say
propane tanks have to be 10' from the house, even if they are buried

The NFPA calls for 10' for tanks over 125gallons [and under
2001gallons]. My 100gallon tank is adjacent to the house and meets
all codes.
