Acetylene inside the work van ignites

An auto repair worker was walking toward his mobile service vehicle, which contained an oxyacetylene welding system, to start work for the day. When he was approximately 32 ft. away, he clicked a button on the key fob to unlock the vehicle remotely. The vehicle immediately exploded and burst into flames. No one was injured in the explosion; however, surrounding vehicles and property were extensively damaged.
