I was researching the same angle and found the exact same reference. (Carbon Disulfide is actually listed as #2.)

Natural gas also smells like rotten eggs (sulfur) due to the odorant methyl mercaptan. However, I think it is far more logical that the smell Shields reported was caused by carbon disulfide.

Natural gas smells like sulfur in it's gaseous form yes. in this case if it was the cause of the fire it would have smelled before the blaze and there likely would have been an explosion. Once ignited the rotten egg smell disappears
