might be able to explain more. marjorie is on the phone line, and you just heard the explosion? >> well, i heard what sounded like a roaring jet engine. it was so intensely loud i looked out the window and it kept going and going. and i live in san bruno. i went on my deck and i thought where is this going? what i thought where is that jet going it was so intensely loud. it was not stopping. i still am hearing this war which still is sounding like a jet engine. and i'm in the front of my house and what i can see from my skyline is that i was so concerned i thought that a jet had gone down over there. i still do not know what happened but all of a sudden i see brown smoke coming up. are you there? >> yes, we can hear you. >> and i could see that brown
6:34 pm
smoke coming up intensely so i knew that there was a fire of some sort. >> marjorie, we are looking at live pictures of the smoke. and how far away are you from that took place? >> i am only 1 mi.. maybe 2 mi., maximum! >> this is a home mac and industrial and holmes a mix? >> yes, a lot of homes. and it is right on skyline. you know, >> you are listening to your television, do not listen to that, to talk to us. >> in the area is on skyline and can you give us any other details? one explosion or was it a series of explosions? >> it sounded like a jet engine, roaring. and it kept going and going. and that is again, why i kept asking where is this plane? what is happening? and
6:35 pm
all the sudden i see that smoke and i hear them roaring toward i still do not know what happened. >> are you hearing any of emergency crews? >> 0 yes, i did i heard fire engines going up there. >> marjorie, we are going to continue to talk to you and a live picture, and if you're just joining us? a live picture in san bruno. skyline beloboulevar, the smoke billowing, dark smoke coming from this explosion that happened just moments ago. marjorie, can you tell us when this happened? >> 0 my goodness, perhaps 15-20 minutes ago. maxxam, a 30 minutes. >> looking at it as the smoke look worse than it does before? >> utt let me go out to the front. please hold on. >> and also, a gas station. >> i am be low skyline and the ssmokers faltering. and it
6:36 pm
has not seen as bad. and you can see that smoke going up and it is filtering down and i can still hear more fire engines. >> i am getting word that a gas station might be involved in this explosion. >> yes there is a scarce station at san bruno and a skyline boulevard--there is a san bruno shopping area with lots of homes. >> and with a gas station right on the corner. that would make perfect sense. this explosion, with the last 15-20 minutes and margery heard it out of her home. frightening to see this and is pamela mentioned we are hearing this. perhaps a gas station and from the phone of marjorie the phone and the sirens o. it is a three-alarm fire. >> and heather, as you
6:37 pm
mentioned, marjorie is on bruno at skyline and this is a mixed use area with residential and business. our caller, marjorie mention the there is a shoppshog area and a gas station and this it specifics, perhaps a gas station was involved in this explosion. this happened just a few moments ago and it is all unfolding as we give you these live pictures. and this smoke is still billowing very strong. and as we begin to try to nail down additional affirmation. >> it looks like it's just from one small area. and it does not look like we're seeing as much smoke. and a few seconds ago it was coming out like crazy. >> and the wire service as saying that the fire responders are responding to a hillside san bruno area. also, they're still gathering information that they
6:38 pm
are responding to that fire. there are very few specific details of that who live in that . if you have any additional information or photos? you can see those flames. and if in fact this was a gas station? this could continue for some time. and we encourage any viewers to send any video, pictures, or call us. or e-mail breakingnews @kron4news.com >> pamela, and looking at google earth, and right next to skyline boulevard. right next to san bruno ave and it is not letting up. >> you can imagine that the fire officials will have to come in for some assistance. if this is
6:39 pm
a gas station at those could involve some much fuel to keep this going. you can see flames from our live picture. and as far as the largest dispersal of frames shooting in the air. again, our caller. the lock. >> this is a mixed use area. - look. >> with holmes, a gas station. >> pam, you can see with bursts of flames and another burst of flame. more black smoke this is far from being out of co in con >> and with marjory's description that she provided even the fear in her voice. she said this sound like a huge jet perhaps there was a crash? it is not far from the airport and the faa is confirming that there is no confirmed reports of the
6:40 pm
crash in that area so we can take that issue off the plate. and what did cause this crash and san bruno, explosion? >> if you have any pictures breaking news at kron 4 .com and who love to know what you've seen, heard, from this breaking news situation. some sort of explosion. in the faa is reported there is no record of any plane crashes and also with gotten phone calls perhaps a plane crash. the answer is no. it does not seem to be the case. also, this could be a gas station when that would make sense with bursts of flames. and smoke, and we lost a live shot but again, this is a fire that is burning out of control. i which is checking with the news desk and three-alarm. there is a live picture again. >> and this is out of control! >> and because san bruno is
6:41 pm
smaller, there will be calling for assistance. to help with this magnitude and we would think that in light of this size of this explosion in the area affected. again, we do not want people to be feared, were alarmed because a plane has not been crashed. the faa has not reported a plane going down there are houses on fire! this is the area of residential and retail. there are houses involved in this fire right now. this is not under control. >> and i hate to hear this and if you're looking at this and just joining us? smokes, flames from san bruno. west of san bruno ave s skyline boulevard. perhaps 30 minutes ago that we've received that there was an explosion in this area. there could be a gas station, and perhaps it is not a plane crash.
