To follow up on the above comments -- yes, this community does have gas water heaters and gas home heating units in the garage. The Jeep was not an EV, am sure of that. No official word yet, but gas leak appears the cause. Not sure yet if the gas leak was natural gas, or Jeep fuel. Apparently, Jeep has a recall on the Jeep fuel lines leaking. That's all I know ...
Well, that's not ALL I know, but ... ![[emoticon]](http://www.rv.net/sharedcontent/cfb/images/smile.gif "smile")

I know houses in the area my area will not pass inspection if both sides of walls surrounding the utility room (furnace & water heater) are not finished. And IIRC, had to use thicker sheet-rock than normal inside walls.

We have block walls between garage and house ... but the fire went UP and thru the adjoining attic. So, the fire wall did not work as it should. No firewall exists between garage attic and house attic.
Might not be able to build homes that way anymore ... not sure of the newest codes here.

The building codes in many areas require outside air and ventilation for any gas fired appliance, thus they get installed in the attic or garage. You'd have to break the air infiltration barriers to install them inside, and that works against trying to make the living areas as energy efficient as possible.
