PUC Continues Investigating Tyrone House Explosion

The Public Utility Commission is continuing a safety investigation in the Tyrone house explosion on July 26 that left one person dead and five others injured. The PUC says that the investigation is within the information-gathering stage. They’re conducting interviews and periodically going to the site. Nils Hagen-Frederiksen, a PUC spokesperson says that the safety team is primarily looking into answering what happened, why it happened, and how this can be prevented in other parts of the state. The safety division is a team of specialized engineers and experts who work on investigations involving pipelines, natural gas, electricity, and other potential safety issues. A part of PUC’s investigation involves waiting for the investigations from the fire marshals and state police to be complete.
