Regardless of how this story develops, that grumpy guy is perfect fodder for a meme...

Of course they will, at least up until the fire investigators have gone in and confirmed it was a leaky gas bottle or something equally mundane.

Alright: it was a tradesman's van, and there was a leaking gas bottle (most likely, acetylene for a welder) in it.
