The source of of this morning's pleasant wake up was a grill, that was forgotten working during the night. The grill did not fail at all, but the woodwork of a close-by window got so hot that it spontaneously set itself on fire. From there the pipe connecting the gas bottle to the grill melted and started leaking gas. I couldn't find a plausable explanation for the explosions I heard. I think it was gas accumulating and exploding so powerfully that it suffocated the fire around it and started accumulating again. The roof caught fire. Second floor was heavily smoked, but it didn't catch fire. The damage was less than I imagined, but still needs repaiting and new soft furniture.
