SAN BRUNO, Calif. (AP) - Homes are being destroyed as a massive
fire roars through a mostly residential neighborhood in a south San
Francisco suburb.
The fire in San Bruno is burning in a hillside area a few miles
from San Francisco International Airport, prompting speculation
that the blaze was sparked by a plane crash. But a spokesman for
the Federal Aviation Administration says the agency has no record
of any plane crash. An airport spokesman also said there was no
report of a plane down.
Television live shots show at least a dozen homes destroyed,
with flames reaching as high as 60 feet in the air as the fire
fuels itself on the burning homes.
Witnesses say a loud explosion was felt just before the flames
erupted around 6 p.m. Thursday.
