Quote: "Panic spread among people in Marrikunta Thanda, a hilly area in Owk mandal of Kurnool district on Saturday as fire errupted from crack that developed on earth. Cracks in ground were seen up to a depth of about 200 metres and flames were seen spreading from the gaps. An electric pole was melted due to heat generated in the earth. The news spread in the surrounding villages and people in large numbers flocked to witness the fire from earth at the hamlet."

Quote: "Mr Hancock ruled out the possibility the fire was caused by a gas leak, after one of Mr Cutherbertson’s children had suggested that the house smelled out gas in the lead up to the blaze. Mr Hancock said: “Had there been a gas leak in the premises I’d expect to see an explosion more than a fire. 'Also you would’ve expected any fire to then burn back to the exposed pipework. That wasn’t the case.'"

Quote: "A fire investigator told the inquest copper pipes on a radiator had melted, meaning the temperature inside the farmhouse during the blaze would have exceeded 1,085 degrees."

Note: So there was a rotten egg odor, but it wasn't from natural gas, and the fire burned extremely hot. Hydrogen sulfide smells like rotten eggs, it burns very hot, and since it wouldn't have come from pipework that would explain why the fire didn't burn back to exposed pipework. The smoke from hydrogen sulfide-related fires may also be extremely lethal, which would explain why nobody survived this fire. This is most likely to happen near coasts, like the area where this home was located, and in the wee hours, like this fire...
