On july 6, 2016 at 18:11 dte gas was notified from 911 of an explosion at 101 w. Margaret in detroit, mi. The dte gas service technician arrived onsite at 18:32. When the services technician arrived, he reported that the fire had spread an adjacent homes. Dte gas coordinated with first responders to contain the incident by disconnecting the gas services at the gas main. A natural gas leak investigation was conducted and no natural gas leaks were detected. There was one injury to the occupant at 101 w. Margaret. Dte gas was unable to retrieve the gas meter assembly because the demolition contractor performed the demolition without contacting dte gas as requested. Dte gas has completed its investigation and have determined the cause as "unknown". According to detroit fire department arson unit, the cause of the explosion is unknown. Several attempts by detroit fire department arson unit were made to talk to the customer who was home at the time of the explosion, however, he was unresponsive while in the hospital. I am told the customer was released after several weeks in the hospital and investigators have not been able to locate him to conduct their follow up.
