Yes, we'd have a couple of those from time to time. If something in the 
fire collapses and the can rolls out... and sometimes the valve in the 
top melts and the pressure releases in a continuous stream. There was 
usually somebody drunk enough to approach the fire from behind a large 
coat or something and investigate.

This was eventually solved by simply using really bloody big hot fires 
to guarantee a clean detonation. (!)
