In response to "It would be an *insane* engineering failure to have an active flare in proximity to a potential propellant leak." by Reagen

It can't be too far away and still serve to offload the methane from the ship. Methane gas to be burned off, it can't be vented. -- (edited)

Not clear if that was a methane leak or a LOX leak, but given the ship is 18ft across, that cloud travelled a good distance before igniting.
