The tenant has now been inside the apartment. The nitrous tank that was thought to have vented actually was still full. The local bomb squad insisted on emptying the nitrous tank for no good reason. There was black powder and other metals in the apartment, but they were in the bedroom that didn't burn.
It now appears that the official ruling will be that the "rocket fuel" hada nothing to do with the fire. The BATFE did visit but didn't find anything that concerned them.

Any corrections from the "media"????

The Des Moines Register did a better job on reporting the story than the local TV news. They mentioned compressed gases and didn't make rocket fuel part of the headline.

Too bad there isn't a law preventing the media from publishing "facts" about a case before the facts have actually been determined. By the same token, the authorities should also be prohibited from presenting speculation to the media prior to determining the facts of the case.
I hope they come down as hard on the aerosol can industry as they did on us...
