Gas cylinder explosion causes ZiG700,000 damage in Bulawayo fire

A gas canister blew up at a Morningside house in Bulawayo and torched property worth around 700,000 ZiG before firefighters showed up to stop the whole place from getting leveled. The city's fire chief says his crew pulled off a decent save by protecting six expensive cars and about 1.1 million ZiG worth of stuff, but he's annoyed because people waited forever to call it in, and the damage was already done by the time they rolled up.

The nine-kilogram cylinder explosion wrecked the roof and started spreading toward a big servants' quarters before responders contained it. Fire crews also secured two other gas tanks and prevented a solar system from exploding, which would have ripped the entire house apart. Nobody got hurt.
