HAVEN, Kan. — A special consulting firm that deals with crisis and emergency management with fire disasters has been hired by Haven Midstream to help with the investigation and recovery from last week's explosion and fire at its gas facility near Haven.

IFO Group out of The Woodlands, Texas, is on-hand to assist Haven Midstream in helping mitigate any potential danger from the accident as well as consult recovery efforts.

It is unknown how long IFO Group will be at the site or what plans are to get operations back up and running. So far, the cause of the fire is undetermined by the State Fire Marshal's Office.

The April 14 explosions and fire injured two people and forced the evacuation of the town of Haven overnight Thursday. Residents were allowed to return to their homes early Friday morning.
