Standard grill tank? I call BS.

There is no way this ever happened unless the fire department was there
within 2 minutes, and they were the biggest crew of bumbling idiots known to
man.

If they were there quick enough to be able to set up and squirt water on it
before the first tank ran out of propane, then the second tank never
would've gotten hot enough to trip the relief valve.

I find it hard to believe that there was no way to pull the grill off the
porch with one of those pole hooks that every fire truck comes equipped with
before it did too much damage.

When the hose first ruptured, there was plenty of opportunity to shut off
the fuel supply and get the second tank out of harm's way. You probably sat
there mesmerized by the flames, or ran away at the first sign of danger.
