I just saw that article, and thought of the earlier post.
But to be fair, the "family of five in Sydney's west" were a whole other order of stupid. Darwin failed.Heating a home from a gas cooktop has risks, but is not completely moronic, like the charcoal BBQ. I will confess to have done it as a temporary arrangement in the past, when the electricity was not connected. I positioned a fan next to the cooktop , and it did the job. A window was left slightly open for ventilation. However doing this as a long-term arrangement in an apartment building would be a bad idea. Immoral even.
I mean I have cooked "梅菜扣肉" (Mei Cai Kou Rou - Steamed Pork Belly w/ Preserved Vegetables) in apartments before…
To cook the dish you'll have to
1. boil the meat first,
2. deep fry it
3. stir-fry the preserved vegetable,before you can put the meat in a bowl and steam cook it for the next hour and half.
I got so many bowls in one go and steamed those for the whole afternoon.
I definitely didn't have to open air-con for the rest of the day…
I am probably the most negged person on Ozbb
For me: NEVER cook on gas when induction is available.
Even whilst camping around Australia we carried just one small camp stove with cans and a cheap induction cooker. Using common sense with safety I still keep on being lectured how dangerous them electric cables might be. Crazy same people carry badly secured gas bottles on roof of their cars!
Living in a small flat? Cover them windows at night with thick foam backed with foil, air room fully in the morning and use a little electric fan heater with a new extension cord.

You can use bubble wrap as a cheap alternative as well.
This happens every couple of years. It's just newly arrived migrants coming from developing countries where fire pits are used for heating indoors in shelters that probably aren't completely sealed.
The WHS Manager in the engineering arm of a large Australian Airline decided to have a charcoal BBQ in his garage and use metho to get it started. BOOM! including severe burns and hospitalisation.
The crap the poor bugger had to contribute to the company news letters and magazines and the inhouse training / presentations about "Taking Safety Home with You". It went on for half a year.
Interesting. The firefighter in the news says that you can get away with this but the carbon monoxide will build up in your blood. If the family called the fire department it's likely they've been doing this for a while (or at least once).
You would think they would've heard of layering.
there was a guy who posted here about his rental getting blown up by someone with a bbq indoors
