There was a similar (but less unfortunate) event near my hometown in Missouri.
Fellow that lived across from the landfill was driving steel pipe into the
ground to build a fence.  A spark (from the hammer driving the pipe) ignited
methane coming up out of the pipe.

Luckily, due to his discovery, there were no serious injuries or losses.
I would certainly agree that a Landfill is NOT something to live near.
(Unless you want to save on your heating bill by collecting the gas
yourself.  :->   )
