In May 2019, while filming the TV show “I Know This Much is True“, a fire broke out. Now, HBO and Mark Ruffalo have been sued for the fire in the New York shoot location.
An alleged complaint states that production stored kerosene, heating oil, and other potentially explosive substances on-site. According to reports, the production team’s failure to clean up after themselves sparked the outrage of the people. Some of those who lived close enough to the fire and who were affected by its poisons and carcinogens have spoken out, saying that the fire also damaged their homes. “Uncovered and uncontrolled debris pile, toxin leaks, and wind-driven gaseous dispersion” were also alleged to have been left behind by HBO after the wildfire, according to residents.
HBO and Mark Ruffalo are being sued for an undisclosed amount. There are rumors that it’s somewhere in thousands of dollars.
