I've seen that happen on boats before. There can be a small propane leak and the gas will pool in the bilge for weeks. Then it finds a source of ignition and the boat goes off like a bomb.

I was thinking just that and if the fan was installed backwards, with fan on the fresh air would have been forced into the ref. Box than the fresh air would have created positive pressure forcing most of the propane down and out the bottom vent the fan installed backwards in this case may actually have been a blessing...?
Either way very scary indeed!
