Some Pennsylvania residents who live near a Chevron natural gas well that exploded , killing a worker , are getting compensation of sorts from the corporation . Free pizza and sodas . Chevron is dispensing 100 gift certificates for pizza and soft drinks to those in the area of Greene County where the February 11 explosion sparked a fire that burned for four days . An employee at Bobtown Pizza confirmed the corporation 's order of gift certificates . The cause of the explosion is still unknown , according to Jeff Rhodes , Greene County 911 Emergency Coordinator . The blast killed a worker and injured another , and although the fire is out gas and heat are still being emitted into the atmosphere , Rhodes said . Chevron 's edible outreach is not sitting well with some recipients . `` Worst apology ever : Sorry our fracking well exploded . Here 's a free pizza , '' one angry Twitter user wrote Tuesday . `` Nice community relations : if you are frightened by fire and explosion , relax , have a pizza ! '' another tweet stated . One resident who said he wished to remain anonymous because of Chevron 's strong presence in the area told CNN that he received a certificate on Sunday while he and his family were out . He said it was the first and last time they had heard from Chevron regarding the incident . `` It felt like a huge slap in the face , '' the resident told CNN . `` I do not feel that they 've addressed anything . I have n't even called their hotline yet because I 'm just too upset . A pizza coupon ? I mean come on ! '' In a statement to CNN , Chevron stated that the corporation `` offered a token of appreciation '' to neighbors who were affected by the events . A letter also accompanied the gift certificates , according to CNN affiliate KDKA , with the letter stating , `` Chevron recognizes the effect this has had on the community . We value being a responsible member of this community and will continue to strive to achieve incident-free operations . We are committed to taking action to safeguard our neighbors , our employees , our contractors and the environment . '' `` We appreciate the strong support we have received from nearby residents as we work to respond to this incident in a safe manner , '' the Chevron statement said . The resident who spoke to CNN said he plans to move his family as a result of the incident . `` We 're moving as soon as we can . That 's not their only well near our house . It 's just not safe , '' he said . In an update published Tuesday on its website , Chevron said the situation at the well `` remains serious and teams are working around the clock to safely approach and shut the well . ''
