Gas cylinders explosion sets man on fire

Two people were left trapped after an explosion at a residential home in a village near Yulin City, south China’s Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. Many gas cylinders had been stored inside the building. Video footage showed the owner of the home, surnamed Chen, carrying a gas cylinder back into his home, before a sudden explosion ten minutes later, breaking down the door and shattering windows. Chen ran out of the building, with his clothes on fire. Firefighters extinguished the fire and carried 42 cylinders out of the building to avoid any further explosions. The firefighters then entered the building and successfully brought the two trapped people to safety.
