was on wednesday. if you take a look behind me. you will see that it ripped the garage door right off the hinges. and if you look above, you will see that the entire balcony was scorched. that is why today, many neighbors in this complex decided that they were going to get a gas leak inspection. when an explosion gutted this cuppertino townhouse it reignited neighbors fears to becoming victim of the deadly pipeline explosion similar to the one in san bruno last year. >> it was an explosion. like everybody else, san bruno call to mind. it was frightening to think there was natural gas. >>

been much worse if you look at the home next to where the fire was burning. you can site is untouched. because there is a fire wall there. that fire wall prevented flames from spreading to other condo units. now pg & e tells me if you happen to smell natural gas inside your home, doinn't use yr phone don't turn on the light switch and dent use any electric appliances. any spark could ignite if
