Look at the details, specifically:
-- "... in which natural gas was the type of material first ignited", a
category which clearly
includes fires that occur while cooking on a gas stove
-- "Leading equipment involved: Stove"
-- "Leading area of origin: Kitchen"
Why did you leave off the last line?
-- leading factor contributing to ignition: Leak or Break
Leak includes a burner that's not burning.
All of which leads to the obvious conclusion that the problem is careless cooking, not the
fuel used for doing so.
Obvious, that is, to anyone who doesn't have an a priori bias and an axe to grind.
As well all
know, most gas incidents start with a leak
Bull**** again. As CLEARLY indicated in the document that YOU cited, most residential
gas-
related fires started as cooking fires, not leaks. That document doesn't
say anything at all
about leaks.
Which document are you reading? The one I am looking at specifically says
"Leading factor contributing to ignition: leak or break"
