That may have contributed to the overhearing but I think it would have been minimal if you compare the volume of the ladder to the total volume of the tank.

The end user claimed the ladder. Now they will have to look for some other piece of electrical gear to sore it in I guess...

During a former shutdown of a facility that I do work at, the kitchen boys set a can of gasoline on a Pot Stove with a Lit Pilot Burning.
Before this they were destroying gas Flex lines on the cook line about every 60 days on various peices of equipment.
I warned the DO that they were going to burn down the houe if things did not change.
They did not like the truth being pointed out.
In that Kitchen, Average IQ, about 60 at best and no supervision whatsoever.
Many repeating destructions of difficult to repair equipment such as Alto Shaam ovens wich were being power washed at year end, and they are surprised that they fail......
Children being turned loose with technology they have no idea about.

Reminds me of a “time out booth” we had in I think 1st or 2nd grade... it was a coat closet about that size, but of course we were small back then.

I take it the ladder wasn't the issue since it does not appear to be charred or marked up.

Who was the Einstein who left the Aluminum stepladder in there & did someone try to get warranty service?
The wonder of "Cut and Paste".
Kitchen staff are rough on equipment, but that goes way beyond being just being rough.

An amazing account JRAEF.
I think I did tell the story of a MTC. guy who put a candle under the pilot burner of a good sized boiler one day.......
Then there are the stories of people who have " Substituted " gas fired controls with whatever they had.
This is where the Insurance company Photo archives come from in essence.

I had one similar. They had to pull a grill out to clean behind it. One of the kitchen workers took a (still no idea where it even came from) sawzall and cut the gas line so they could move the grill out further. Of course the leaking gas found a source of ignition. Fortunately no injuries, except I did not get a cheeseburger that day.
