That man was a hero who went back into the fire one time too many, trying to save more cats.

In the video it said that some of his neighbors did not like his cat sanctuary near them (it probably was a residential zone)

I wonder if one of them set the propane tank on fire? [Propane tanks usually don't just "blow up"]
