2015-04-20 - Porch bursts into flame at 11 PM with popping sound, fire spreads to home, in Pittsburgh (Pennsylvania):
http://www.post-gazette.com/local/city/2015/04/21/3-people-injured-in-Beechview-fire/stories/201504210139
http://pittsburgh.cbslocal.com/2015/04/21/family-rescued-from-house-fire-in-beechview/
Quote: "The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports two other residents got out when they heard a popping sound, saw a bright glow and smelled smoke."
Note: They had some rusty iron/steel or electrified copper on that porch somewhere. The popping sound is an atmospheric gas plume finding an ignition source and igniting with a small firecracker-sized explosion. When the plumes are big then you get those city-shaking explosions, sometimes accompanied by a 'flash of light', that have been reported around the world in recent years as the atmospheric contamination has intensified, like the mysterious explosions near coastal Eureka, mentioned in this update...

Note: These are the 229th, 230th, 231st, 232nd and 233rd buses to burn in 2015. Hydrogen sulfide is reactive with rusty iron/steel, found on virtually all vehicles, and copper, especially electrified copper, also found in virtually all vehicles. So vehicles are burning up regularly, and it doesn't matter much if they're parked or driven. This same problem is causing a lot of underground electrical explosions and fires as well, along with many general home and business fires and explosions, animals dying (especially oceanic species), people mysteriously dropping dead, sometimes while foaming at the mouth or bleeding out from nose/mouth/ears, people stripping naked and going insane, etc.
You might want to keep something handy in your vehicle to knock out windows and cut seatbelts because some of these vehicular fires disable the electrical functions of vehicles, which can result in people being trapped inside their vehicle as it burns. That's usually fatal and numerous people have died that way, unable to escape before fire consumed them...

Note: Mostly, the rising number of underground fires and explosions have been blowing off manholes, igniting cars and blacking out chunks of cities, but sometimes these underground fires and explosions will inflict serious damage, like that waterfront condo complex that got destroyed there in Virginia Beach. The worst such incident, so far, was a series of underground explosions and fires that tore up streets, killed dozens of people and injured hundreds more people in the port city of Kaohsiung on the island of Taiwan, mentioned in the 2014-07-31 update. The recent huge underground fire that hit coastal London (Britain) didn't damage too much aboveground, but it did close part of the city for a few days, affecting peoples' livelihoods at businesses in the area. That incident caused thousands of people to be evacuated and was mentioned in the 2015-04-01 update...

Quote: "NewsChannel 15’s crew at the scene talked to someone who lives at the home on Columbia Avenue; he said he heard a small explosion and when they ran outside, the back porch was on fire."
Note: This is the 176th residential explosion in 2015...
2015-04-27 - Mysterious explosion rocks Wookey (Britain), smoke seen too:
http://www.wellsjournal.co.uk/Mystery-explosion-rocks-Wookey/story-26396405-detail/story.html
Quote: "Residents reported hearing the 'huge bang' and seeing a plume of smoke in a field north of Henley Lane at around 11am."
Quote: "A spokeswoman for the police said: 'We did go along and have a look, and talked to some people living nearby, but there was no sign of anything suspicious. There was no scorched grass, no craters – no sign of any explosion at all.'"
Quote: "Mystery explosions are not a new phenomenon – in November last year hundreds of people across the Manchester area took to social media having heard a huge explosion."
Note: There was no damage on the ground because the explosion occurred high enough off the ground not to cause any damage on the ground, this time. These mysterious explosions, sometimes accompanied by a 'flash of light', began escalating at the same time that methane began belching from the ground and the oceans around the planet. No coincidence there...

Quote: "RCMP Cpl. Jen Allan said police suspect arson. An earlier incident on April 22 involved mischief to the same vehicle. 'Within a week we have a situation where that car is on fire,' Allan said. 'Certainly you don't have to be a crack investigator to suggest that perhaps the two [incidents] are linked,' Allan said."
Note: Dunno if anything else links the two events but the atmosphere and proximity to the coast certainly link the two events. After the first fire, did they do anything to make the vehicle less vulnerable to hydrogen sulfide's reactivity with rust and electrified copper? Noooo. It will eventually burn again too if there's any rust on it anywhere or if there's a functioning battery in it. Junk it and it'll burn at the salvage yard...

http://www.islandpacket.com/2015/04/30/3724917_okatie-trash-fire.html
Quote: "Norm Lamarche, General Manager at Able Contracting Inc., in Okatie, responds to questions about a fire that started early in the morning at Able Contracting Inc., on April 30, 2015. 'seems very suspicious that a fire starts in the rain,' said Lamarche."
Note: No more suspicious than peoples' tapwater being flammable, which has been happening too. Methane is odorless, and it is also lighter-than-air so it's accumulating in the upper atmosphere. Some is probably getting into the rain - there's no reason it wouldn't. Hydrogen sulfide is a heavier-than-air gas but it too will get blown into the upper atmosphere from time to time and it's also water-soluble. So the rain itself may ignite fires and eventually the rain itself may be flat-out flammable, just like the flammable tapwater that people have reported in their homes in recent years. Just think about the consequences of flammable rain...
