If you live in a mansion, you don't have propane tanks in the house. A place like that would probably run a generator and have gas heat, but why wouldn't they bury that outside for common use? On the other hand, it would make sense to have one inside if you needed an on demand burn furnace like they (used to) have at embassies to destroy evidence in a hurry.
Pure Speculation: The big sweep was about to go off and the tips started leaking out, but before these guys can flee the country, they needed to burn all of their files. So, with shaky hands they tried to kick on the furnace and created a heavy flow of gas. If you can smell it strongly, you probably know not to light the match, so they just booked out and then it lit on it's own or they made a small pilot fire outside and waited for a high enough partial pressure to hit it and Boom! Problem with the documents is solved, but now they are stuck for a few to try and clean up the mess.
This is what I'm confused about. Propane tanks inside the building? As far as I know this is against every code in the books that applies to propane. It isn't just mansions, you don't put these tanks inside!

Consider the cause. Propane inside the house...

So I shouldn't bring my BBQ grill inside then 🤔...oh well. 😉

Plus propane tanks don't explode easily, if at all. They are designed to vent (which isn't pretty but its far better than explosion).
