A pressure release valve releases the natural gas before that happens. I have seen a film showing the tanks set in a bonfire, the gas is gone too quickly to ignite. Compressed natural gas is much safer than gasoline, diesel or propane. David for safety REGARDING:

Glad the driver got out okay. Very curious to hear what the Fire Marshall's investigation reveals. A hydraulic or fuel leak? Or something in the waste containment area? 2 different colors of smoke, an oily black, & a more chemical-looking lighter grayish smoke. Sometimes, like when a fuel line is broken, the fire can burn away whatever caused it, making a determination of cause difficult. Wow, this coulda went way worse! Glad the driver got out okay.
