A gas line ruptured and burst into flames late Monday night, triggering evacuations and a shelter in place order for a Daly City neighborhood.
A neighbor told KPIX she heard an explosion while getting ready for bed at around 10:45 p.m. inside her Gellert Ave. home.
"I heard a lot explosion, actually several explosions, outside my home," Michelle said."I thought it was lightning and thunder, but it sounded too close to the house. So I looked out of window and could see fire two houses up from me." North County Fire Batallion Chief Jeff Huntz said crews responded to the scene. They evacuated about a half dozen homes, issued a shelter in place order for the remainder of the neighborhood and shut down traffic on several streets.Firefighters were at the scene to assist the PG&E crews, who needed to dig up the line to shut it off. The process, Huntz said, who take several more hours."It's a little scary," she told KPIX.
