[Ron D'Eau Claire]

In the late 1800's, refineries producing kerosene burned any "gasoline"
byproducts as dangerous waste  - the same stuff we use in pre-Tesla
automobiles today. The reason was that gasoline was "obviously" ar too
dangerous for consumer use. Kerosene, with its much lower volatility and
lower heat per unit was acceptable. 

Anything that can produce very high temperatures very fast can be very
dangerous. Over time, we learn to handle it properly and it becomes
commonplace, like gasoline. 

Obviously there is a learning curve and it's prudent to be careful.
