Second time gas stove left on

I think it was some time late last year when I woke up at 11am to find an empty house, with the gas stove left switched on, fire ablaze.

They (Father + his wife) left the house that morning on a 1.5 - 2 weeks long trip.
By the time I noticed and turned it off, the switch was hot to the touch.

It's 12.30am on a Wed night when I got to the kitchen to boil some eggs. When I wanted to turn the switch on, I realised it was already turned on to the max, no fire. She left the house around 3-4pm on Tues and only came back around 8-9pm and I don't think there was any other cooking done that evening so I suspect it's been on for longer.

Idk if the 'gas' ran out while running for hours thus no fire? Either way, still unsafe.

I swear a fire is going to break out one day.
