That lead to many safety devices being used on gas lines. There are hazards related to any form of energy distribution and use. There would be even greater hazards if energy was not distributed and used.
Ancient cities used to burn down fairly regularly because of the heavy use of wood fires for cooking, etc. This is in part where Nero’s legend came from.
