Gas leaks spark explosions, injuries across Detroit homes

Recent incidents of gas leaks have led to explosions, injuries, and fatalities in Detroit and its suburbs, with at least four occurrences in the past weeks. In response, consumer investigator Hank Winchester collaborates with DTE, the Detroit Fire Department, and the ATF to educate the public on safety measures. Key advice includes inspecting furnaces and outdoor meters for leaks or unusual odors, and promptly contacting authorities if gas is suspected. Women are noted to have a heightened sensitivity to detecting gas, highlighting the importance of listening to concerns raised by household members.
