This is mind numbing....
I have always lived in homes with oil. No gas in the street here. As a contractor, my limited knowledge of gas systems practices is that there are PRVs or pressure relief valves, that should open in the face of excess pressure and release into open air, ie. outside, and in commercial buildings, at or above the roof elevation. I wonder if newer designs failed, or if some steps were cut out in the name of saving the almighty buck.....
Fires and explosions that could not even be responded to.... Logistical nightmare. Kudos to all the responders converging through mutual support system and beyond. Sixty plus incidents and counting.
