Natural Gas Pipeline Maps

On September 9, 2010 a 30-inch diameter natural gas transmission pipeline (Line 132) owned and operated by Pacific Gas & Electric Company (PG&E) ruptured in a residential area in San Bruno, California. The explosion and fire killed 8 people, destroyed 37 homes and damaged another 18 homes in the blast vicinity. Before and After Photos

We would not want to own a home within the blast zone at any price and would try to avoid homes close to the pipeline that are at risk of destruction from a fire.

These
Natural Gas Pipeline Maps should be useful in selecting a safe place to live.
