apr 17, 2017 - Gas line owned by Anadarko explodes

Description:

A basement full of gas explodes at 6300 Twilight Ave, Firestone, CO killing Mark Martinez & Joey Irwin. Mark’s wife Erin, their son and Irwin’s sister were also injured in the explosion. The gas line, owned by Anadarko Petroleum, had been cut but not disconnected, allowing gas to leak into the basement

The Frederick-Firestone Fire Protection District found that a gas line attached to the well & severed near the foundation of the Martinez home leaked flammable gas into the soil. The explosion leads to Anadarko closing 3,000 wells across the state, an emergency inspection order from Gov. John Hickenlooper & to some new regulations across the state
