i heard that last week, a house on gage ave. Hamilton, Ontario, was caught on fire. the whole house was gone. and it was most likely caused by a gas leak. a woman had critical conditions. she is now in hospital. 2 girls 22 and 20 had escaped. (the fire started in the basement) and the mom was down there. and she was trapped. the firefighters took her out, she was pronounced dead, but she got revived. but the 2 daughters are still facing the fact that they may lose their mother. she may already be dead, im not sure. there are no updates that i can find. here's the full story: http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/hamilton/news/firefighters-pull-woman-from-burning-basement-1.2444018
there was more than 1 link. there should be 1 or 2 more:

keep them in your prayers.
my question is "should i be scared that my house may get a gas leak? we have insurance, but still i dont want to lose my home. homes take a while to re-build. and im just worried that "what if we have a gas leak"? should i be scared? or should i not worry? are fires rare? are gas leaks rare? how can you prevent gas leaks? how can you be sure that your house wont catch on fire? i am scared now, because they are not far. gage is only 4 or 5 streets away. and i dont wanna lose my parents. we wont have clothes, water, food, furniture, shelter. please help. i will give 15 points to who answers this question. but can you explain to me how to give 15 points to best answer? idk how too. i was scared to even go to bed, i didnt want to wake up dead. so please. if its a really good answer. i will give 20 points. anything to get me to stop thinking that my house will catch on fire...
please answer right away!!!!!
Thank You.....
15 or 20 points not too who only answers it, to the best answer.
Answer
when things like this happen it does make you stop and think
we got carbon monoxide detectors fitted when there was a news article about people succumbing to fumes
its great that you are now vigilant, but you cannot let it rule your life
make sure everything is on good working order, a gas inspection is done and up to date
and relax

Is it safe to turn a gas oven on and leave the door open for heat?
Q. My landlord wont turn the heat on in my basement floor apartment. (he has control and he has to pay utilities) but its so cold. So Ive been leaveing my stove open and its actually been helping with the heat I just wanna make sure i wont explode
Answer
Likely not. But you know there ARE laws about minimum temperature allowed. I can give them to you if you live in Ontario, or help you find them if you let me know your state/prov (send me a msg) That being said, we left our stove on alot for the same reason, though it was electric. There should be nothing wrong as the gas burns off, not fills your house... BUT
Don't leave it on all the time. I think you'd be safer to do most of your cooking in the oven and leave the door open when it cools down. Don't have it on with the door open. But if you cook something, by all means leave it open and let the house warm up. Even turn it on for a few minutes throughout the day.. but don't leave it on the whole day to heat the house.
Short periods of time should be no problem.. though you may want to get a carbon monoxide detector, and of course turn it off and open the door if you smell any gas!
Consider a space heater, though it has to be turned off when your not home.. Even candles throw alot of heat.. a couple tealights are enough to keep my room warm... If the temperature is below you're city's minimum, you can charge those things to your landlord!
(I don't know why everyone thinks it's so bad... It's not like car gas.. It's natural gas! It's very clean, and it would only be toxic if it weren't burned off... eurg, some people around here!)
