The National Transportation Safety Board determines that the probable cause of the fire and explosions in the engine department storeroom of the EMERALD SEAS was the ignition by an undetermined source of acetylene leaking from a cylinder, which caused an acetylene-fueled fire resulting in subsequent explosions.
