Incident on Aug 11, 2024 (fatal): Employee is fatally injured in natural gas explosion while i
At 6:51 a.m. on August 11, 2024, two employees, a crew leader and a helper, were dispatched to investigate a secondary electrical fault at a residence. Upon arrival, they parked on the street and discussed the job while sitting in the work van. The crew leader instructed the helper to check the meter, and the helper exited the van to retrieve cones and possibly tools. As the helper walked through the yard toward the meter, a natural gas explosion occurred without warning. The helper suffered fatal injuries from the blast, and the crew leader, in a state of shock, instructed others to call 911 and evacuate the area. The explosion was later confirmed by the NTSB to be a natural gas explosion.
