The driving danger is not from the open flame but from the open valve on
the tank. The fridge flame is in a remote location unlikely to be
reached by anything flammable. An accident that disrupts the integrity
of the gas line could result in a fire. If the tank regulator was
involved, the result might be spectacular. This seems unlikely but it is
a non zero risk. I tend not to do it.
