Narrative
On january 4, 2020, dte gas dispatch received a call from 911 at 19:33 of an explosion at 14404 & 14406 evergreen street in detroit, michigan. This is a residence that is considered a 2-family flat (one structure with two residences). Dte gas first responders arrived on-site at 19:55 to investigate and terminate gas service. There were 6 individuals taking to the hospital, one with burns and 5 with smoke inhalation. Working with detroit fire & arson, dte gas's internal investigation team and the michigan public service commission, it was determined that the cause of this incident was due to an ak 47 gun that was shot in the house which penetrated the service line just below the meter & regulator assembly. The case has been turned over to detroit police for further investigation.
