How to Prevent My Rental From Burning Down

[Matt Schelberg]

I bought a rental property with a gas stove next to the kitchen wall...it's a bit of a fire hazard, as you can see in the photo below.  Any ideas on how to make this more safe?

I'd like to avoid rearranging the kitchen.  Overall intent is to increase safety while keeping costs in check.  Thanks!

Build a tile front on the sheetrock?

Install thin gauge stainless plate (maybe with insulating backer) on sheetrock or in place of?

Convert to electric?
