Pipeline explosion rocks Newton County neighborhood  Posted:
Updated: Officials are trying to determine what caused a
pipeline carrying natural gas to suddenly rupture and explode
just outside of Buna Saturday morning. The pipeline, owned by
DCP Midstream, is located on FM 253 near the Newton/Jasper
County line.           The Newton County Sheriff's Office
started getting calls a little before 10 a.m. about a loud
explosion. Once first responders arrived, they soon realized
they needed to evacuate people who live nearby.  "Whenever we
first got here and could look over the hill, there was a gas
product coming out and we didn't know which it was... whether it
was natural gas or propane, but both can cause some pretty good
explosions," said Olen Bean, Deputy Coordinator at Jasper-
Newton-Sabine Emergency Management.  Donald Adams lives about
100 yards down the street from the pipeline
