## Resource

A Bel Air house explosion linked to a gas leak has sparked outrage after the NTSB blamed BGE for a catastrophic response failure — including unanswered emergency calls and an on-duty agent who admitted to drinking and falling asleep at his desk. As BGE pushes for a rate hike, lawmakers like Del. Ryan Nawrocki are demanding accountability, while consumer advocates warn the utility is prioritizing profits over safety. BGE acknowledged a communication breakdown but stopped short of admitting systemic negligence — a glaring gap as public trust erodes.
