The aftermath can be overwhelming as victims face physical recovery, property loss, and emotional distress.
Homeowners are encouraged to prioritize safety by regularly inspecting gas lines, appliances, and heating systems. Knowing how to detect potential hazards, such as the smell of gas or unusual noises, can prevent tragic events.
