1st Suit Filed Against Petroleum Corp. Following Colorado House Explosion
Neighbors have filed the first lawsuit stemming from a fatal house explosion in northern Colorado that’s blamed on unrefined natural gas flowing from a severed pipeline.
The Longmont Times-Call reported Swiin Jeffrey and Karla Baum filed a negligence lawsuit against Anadarko Petroleum Corporation and others Monday over fears their home isn’t safe after the April 17 explosion.
The blast in Firestone killed two people and badly burned a third. State regulators said the severed 1-inch (2.5-centimeter) line was thought to be out of service but was connected to a nearby gas well with a valve turned on.
A call to Anadarko’s headquarters in Texas went unanswered.
