I don't know if you mean a gas such as oxygen or carbon-dioxide; or "gas", the American colloquialism for petroleum spirit.

Either way the heat could easily make the containers explode very violently by increasing the internal pressure - then the further effects would depend on the flammability or otherwise of the contents.
