I was a pipeline engineer for many years.
Usually when you have a fire like that it was somebody digging and hit the line to start the fire. Corrosion leak usually does not burn.

As David said pipelines are still the safest way to transport hydrocarbons. There have been a lot of rail accidents from the Bakken Shale formation, for instance. But one accident is too many. There is a lot of effort that goes into making pipelines as safe as possible. One part of that safety effort is the One Call system. Before excavating each and every time you are wise to call your state's One Call system. most places it is 811.

The One Call we had done kept us from any liability.
