The chemical that is added to propane to make it have that rotten smell is Methanethiol. It is released for some types of plants when they are rotting. Methanethiol gas is listed on the Material Safety Data Sheet to be flammable, so if there is a large amount of gas hanging in the air it has the potential to combust.
