Deb here:
  No, that was the "story" that was put about to Muggles to explain 
all the damage and the deaths. While Wormtail might have used a 
spell to ignite the gas line, he did indeed use magic to get away 
from Sirius and that lead to Muggles being killed and property being 
distroyed. 

 POA, The Servant of Lord Voldemort:

  "He's got a toe missing." said Black.
  "Of course," Lupin breathed. "So simple... so brilliant... he cut 
it off himself?"
  "Just before he transformed," said Black. "When I cornered him, he 
yelled for the whole street to hear that I'd betrayed Lily and 
James. Then, before I could curse him, he blew apart the street with 
the wand behind his back, killed everyone within twenty feet of 
himself -- and sped down into the sewer with the other rats...."
  "Didn't you ever hear, Ron?" said Lupin. "The biggest bit of Peter 
they found was his finger."
