If the metal fire is over multiple days, you can walk away from it. The large explosion can kill you before you know there's a problem.

True enough, but I'd want to be a lot further away from a lithium fire than from a propane explosion.

I think there's kind of a local minimum where you need to be farther from the propane explosion, but after your outside the blast radius you're fine, but less so for the lithium fire
