this happens to a buddy a few days ago.just had his 25 gallon propane tank filled.hooked it up to his co2 generator and flames start shooting out of the tank.frying some of his plants.melting the face of his airconditioner unit.and not a fire extingisher in the house.three people running around not knowing what to do.final he lifted the flaming tank up stairs,out side.got his fire extingisher from the garage.put it right out.cancelled the call to the fire department just in time.

next day bought fire extingishers for every room.switch to smaller five gallon propane tanks that you can pick up every where.

man picking up a flaming propane tank and taking it with you takes balls. that shit was a bomb waiting to go off. glad all is well.

many people keep the propane in the grow room itself. i was one of them.

Glad you're ok. I only use mine weeks 4-6 in flower because I know it's extremely stupid having it in the house. lol
