Southwest Gas helped with repairs in Massachusetts after a series of fires and explosions in September.

One person was killed and about two dozen were injured outside Boston.

29 construction technicians and supervisors repaired and replaced natural gas appliances, tesed houselines for safety, and re-established service to customers. They were able to visit nearly 800 homes over two weeks.

The technicians came from all of Southwest Gas' Divisions – Southern Nevada, Northern Nevada, Central Arizona, Southern Arizona, and Southern California.
