Gas heater lounge room dodgy ?

[Blr243]

Walked into a home this arv with the intention of repairing a couple of locks. I’m aware that gas heaters professlinoally installed in homes by licensed people and with cylinders outside is normal ... but this was a gas heater sitting in the middle of a lounge room floor ( moveable) and sitting beside it was a caravan or bbq sized gas bottle and that’s how they heat the room. Am I nervous to react to the sight of this method , or could a gas leak potentially blow the house up?

Can be very dangerous----potential gas leak from a bottle & if any flue gas present.....should be vented outside.
