Consumers Energy investigators have determined that there were no issues with the natural gas infrastructure before the house explosion on Hogarth Avenue in Flint.
What Caused the House Explosion in Flint?

A spokesperson for the energy company tells our news partners at Mid-Michigan Now that they have "completed field evaluation of our equipment and facilities, working alongside law enforcement and other agencies, and determined there were no issues on our natural gas system."
Authorities are still searching for the cause of the blast on November 22 that destroyed three homes and caused damage to at least two dozen more.
A 55-year-old woman and a 3-year-old girl lost their lives in the tragedy.
