I’ve been watching it from my back yard deck for the last half hour. Lots of big flames, very dark smoke. Don’t know what it is yet, but fire trucks responding from all directions for the last half hour. I’m in South San Francisco near 380 and 280 highways.

SAN BRUNO, Calif. (AP) — Firefighters are battling a large fire burning that started on a hillside and is now consuming homes in residential neighborhood in the San Bruno area.

Television live shots show flames at least 20 feet high shooting into the air.

A South San Francisco fire official confirmed earlier that firefighters were responding to a fire, but had no other details.

Witnesses say a loud explosion was felt just before the flames erupted around 6 p.m. Thursday.

The area where the fire is burning in a mostly residential area where the flames continue to roar through a mostly residential area near Skyline Boulevard and San Bruno Avenue.

don’t you mean

IT IS NOT TERRORISM?!!!

This is always declared within 5 minutes of any big event when there is no way to know if it is or isn’t.
