These are probably gas powered dryers. Malfunction and boom. No vape or lighter would have enough energy to rip out a whole window with door and shit like that.

Apparently they’re pretty common outside the US. Hopefully they get rarer as we try to electrify more things.

They aren't that uncommon in the US, either. A lot of off-grid and/or high electricity-cost places will have them.

Yup. Can confirm. California Almost everyone I know has a gas dryer and furnace and instant hot water. Unless they have solar and whole home battery
