## Narrative

The truck was equipped with a utility body which had keyless remote locks.  An acetylene cylinder (approx 20 lb) had a handle which could be turned by hand instead of needing a wrench.  To the best of our ability, we have determined that the acetylene bottle was leaking and the electronic locks ignited the gas.
