Pauite Way Neighborhood Should Have Been Evacuated Before Explosion

A federal official investigating the deadly home explosion in Rancho Cordova said Monday the neighborhood should have been evacuated before the blast. A gas leak was reported, though the call logs are under scrutiny and probably won’t be made public until the end of the investigation, which could take as long as 6 months to a year. A Pacific Gas & Electric worker was at the scene when the home exploded on Christmas Eve.
