    Example of an Oxygen tank explosion in a hospital: http://nj1015.com/oxygen-tank-explod...boro-hospital/

    Another in the back of a garbage truck: http://www.cbs46.com/story/22711645/...-garbage-truck
    I'm pretty sure the guy Tgo's referencing was smoking near the tank.

    As far as the explosion itself causing a fire, no, unless it explodes near an open flame or something. The explosion isn't caused by combustion but by penetration or some kind of structural weakness.
