- A gas line explosion shortly after midnight on Thursday in a residential community in rural Kentucky sent up a ball of flame that could be seen for miles, killing one person and setting several houses on fire, a local sheriff said.
A woman who was killed in the explosion was found outside her home, Lincoln County Sheriff Curt Folger said. Initial indications were that no one else was injured.About five homes caught fire and firefighters worked to extinguish those blazes, Folger said. “It woke us up and it was just a big roar and it was fire going up into the sky as far as you could see,” area resident Sue Routin told Lexington television station Lex 18.The pipeline is part of Enbridge’s Texas Eastern system, the company said. The system connects Texas and the U.S. Gulf Coast with states in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions, according to the company’s website.
The explosion followed another fatal incident on Wednesday at an oil and gas site in Colorado, north of Denver.
