[[File:Firetriangle.gif|400px|thumb|right|There needs to be a fuel source (in this case butane), an oxygen source, and an ignition source for an explosion to occur.]]
 
Butane is a flammable gas with no odor and the ability to accumulate indoors and in unventilated areas. The sudden accumulation of enough butane gas in an enclosed area presents a significant risk for sudden, unpredictable explosions, which often lead to fires, high-degree burns and sometimes fatal injury to the person performing the procedure. Therefore, utmost care and caution must be used when working in an environment that involves the use of butane gas.
