Sun Prairie Fire Department news

Excerpts from madison.com:

A search warrant has revealed that a worker for USIC, a company based in Wisconsin and operating across the U.S., failed to accurately mark the location of a gas line during a utility marking job. Instead of correctly identifying where the gas line was, the worker marked a spot on the sidewalk approximately 25 feet away—where no gas line actually existed.

The warrant was issued to investigate the public street for evidence related to a charge of second-degree reckless homicide in connection with the death of Sun Prairie Volunteer Fire Department Captain Cory Barr. He was killed on July 10 when natural gas, which had leaked from a ruptured 4-inch line, ignited. Another firefighter, Ryan Welch, was seriously injured in the explosion.

The search aimed to locate any electronic devices or data from equipment used during the underground boring operation at the time the gas line was struck. It also included items related to fiber communications conduit and sections of the gas line itself.

According to the search warrant affidavit, buildings at 100 and 104 W. Main St. in Sun Prairie exploded about 40 minutes after a gas leak was reported to 911. The blast destroyed properties ranging from 100 to 113 W. Main St., on both sides of the street.

Valentine Cociuba, an employee of VC Tech—a company subcontracted by Bear Communications to install fiber-optic lines for Verizon—told investigators that Bear had confirmed that Diggers Hotline had been contacted on July 9. This allowed VC Tech to proceed with horizontal-directional boring along Bristol Street and Main Street.

Cociuba said they began work after reviewing the markings made by USIC and developing a plan. However, in the southwest corner of the Bristol-Main Street intersection, he and his team detected a gas smell and immediately called 911. He took a photo of the area before evacuating, which showed no "T" markings indicating a gas line on the pavement. Later investigations confirmed that there were no utility markings above the site where the gas line was struck. Instead, a yellow "T" was painted on the sidewalk about 25 feet north of the damaged pipe—but no gas line was located there.

An independent company was brought in to verify the gas line locations, and their findings aligned with those of the investigators.

State Department of Criminal Investigation Agent Ryan Windorff was provided a map by We Energies showing the actual location of gas utilities in the area. He noted that the gas line was in the road, not on the sidewalk as marked by USIC.
