gas line blew near my home

well within a 15 min drive on the freeway

Fire crews were battling a large fire Thursday evening that was blazing in this hills of San Bruno, south of San Francisco.

It was unclear what sparked the large fire, which was preceded by a large explosion. Firefighters were pouring massive streams of water on homes that were fully engulfed in flames.

A spokeswoman for the San Bruno Police Department said authorities were trying to determine what caused the fire, a few miles northwest of San Francisco International Airport.

Video footage from the scene showed thick clouds of dark smoke billowing across the hills and orange balls of flame.



i saw some of the pictures, some people said they thought it was a plane crash but now police chief said it was probably a gas pipeline that blew.

Oh yeah that's showing in the news here in L.A.

The explosion part was repeated like five times in the 30second preview
