ICYMI: Dallas Firefighters Sue Over Injuries Sustained During Apartment Explosion
Dallas Fire-Rescue, the Dallas Police Department, the Railroad Commission of Texas and Atmos all conducted their own investigations into what caused this apartment building to explode.Three Dallas firefighters are suing Atmos Energy and the owners and managers of the Highland Hills apartment complex, which exploded last year because of a gas leak. Each of them suffered severe injuries from the explosion – injuries they’re still dealing with today – and their attorneys say it was all preventable.
On Sept. 29, Dallas firefighters Capt. Christopher Gadomski, Engineer Ronald Hall and Officer Pauline Perez arrived initially thinking they had a carbon monoxide leak on their hands. When they got there, employees with the apartment complex and the management company used a drill to remove the doorknob of the unit to get inside, instead of opening the door with a master key.
The person who allegedly fired the shot was arrested for causing the leak, but the firefighters and their attorneys contend this is not what caused the explosion. The city had already designated the Highland Hills Apartments and its sister location, Mountain Creek, as common nuisances before the explosion. It did so because management allegedly didn’t secure the property or minimize gun violence at the complexes.
