    MEMA REPORTS MEMA REPORTS is a monthly newsletter produced by the Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency (MEMA) to help keep the Public Safety Community of Massachusetts better informed about the day’s Emergency Management issues. MEMA REPORTS also appears on the MEMA website: www.mass.gov/mema. November 26, 2018 Volume 17, Issue 7 Special Edition Covering August – October 2018 Major Gas Line Incident in Lawrence, Andover, North Andover At approximately 4:00 PM on Thursday September 13th, 2018, Columbia Gas over-pressurized its low pressure gas line servicing some 8,570 meters in the communities of Andover, North Andover and Lawrence. This over-pressurization caused three explosions and 60-80 structure fires and destroyed 15 homes, and rendered an additional 19 uninhabitable. To prevent further explosions or fires, National Grid shut off electric service to approximately 18,000 electric customers in Lawrence, North Andover, and Andover at the request of local and state public safety officials. Each community ordered an evacuation of all residents in the impacted area. During the emergency, communities requested residents to shut their gas service off via emergency notifications and social media. In addition to the 8,570 impacted customers, an additional 10,000 residences in Andover and North Andover had gas service shut off. Because these additional lines and meters were not impacted by the over-pressurization, their gas services was restored in the week following the incident. The incident, which damaged gas mains, lines, and appliances, left the 8,570 impacted customers without gas service and therefore without heat and hot water, and gas appliances, including gas 1 stoves and gas dryers.

Pipeline Accident Report NTSB/PAR-19/02. Washington, DC. Abstract: On September 13, 2018, about 4:00 p.m. local time, a series of structure fires and explosions occurred after high-pressure natural gas was released into a low-pressure natural gas distribution system in the northeast region of the Merrimack Valley in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
