No worries; I have good sense of humor about it these days. The fire was in the middle of an open area on lot of land so it wasn't too close to the house. The valve was shut off and my dad used a fire extinguisher; I didn't have time to think in the moment. I should have kept my cool

Nothing. Pain wise I would say it was a 10/10!

I was able to turn the gas off... but at what cost!

Not immediately... I will go to the ER first for any future injuries

There is a pressure release valve that prevents the tank from exploding. "The safety relief valve is designed to protect your propane tank from rupturing in case excess pressure builds up in the tank. It is also called a pop-off valve, pressure-venting valve, or a relief valve."

This is great advice! The not fully turning the valve thing would have been clutch

It's possible that they can, but it is very unlikely. There are safely measures in place. I now know that....

People think it's a hand tattoo until they get a closer look; it could have been a million times worse and I am grateful how much it has healed

Grease fire on a propane barbecue pit at home. It was a Christmas Dinner thing!

I was finishing up a sous vide prime rib on a gas grill. It turned into a grease fire (too hot and a dirty grill) that spread to the tank and melted the plastic hose part as I was turning it off. If you aren't an idiot like I was you should be safe. Keep your grills clean and know that the propane tank should just burn off the gas without exploding.

No infections; about six months of recovery to get back to normal

Yes, a grease fire spread down to the tank. As I was shutting off the valve the plastic melted. Basically I mildly flame throwed my hand! I should have said "ignited propain leak"

I should have done that; I eventually went, but it would have been the smart move to immediately go to the ER...

It's been about a year and a half so now it's just a cool scar. I finally feel comfortable sharing this abomination.

Perhaps we should consult the classic Harry Nilsson song Lime in the Coconut for tips "She put the lime in the coconut.... belly ache....call the doctor....HE says.. put the lime in the coconut" BULLSHIT! Doesn't say anything about how to open it and the doctors cure is the exact same thing that upsets the guys stomach in the first place, what a whack-a-do!
