I'm not sure that it would have. I once managed to burn my garage down. Total loss, nothing salvageable I thought until I started cleaning the mess up. I was using a gallon Coleman fuel can for a gas can for my lawnmower. I figured it just contributed to the fire. When I found it the neck was blown out but it was still almost full of gas. I also had a full 55 gallon barrel of kerosene in there. All the paint was burned off the barrel but that was all the damage to it.
