Safe distance away from the airport perimeter. Reporter on the Northern Edge of sfo sits safe harbor and 99 beds. The ceo says the suggestion his clients are the problem is false.

Nearby highway 99. It shows the flames and smoke shooting hundreds of feet into the air. Chp had to close the highway in both directions just because of the heat. It was just too much. It all started when a backhoe accidentally ruptured that gas line. 14 people injured, 3 of them critically. And these pictures show the power of the blast. It happened at the Fresno County sheriffs gun range. They were doing work out there. Some inmates working on a project, believe that they are among those who were injured.
