SAN BRUNO, Calif. — Officials toured the explosion area Saturday and described a ghost-town of cars melted in driveways and pieces of houses, some left with just the chimney standing.
Besides the 40 homes leveled by the blast, seven were severely damaged, while dozens of other houses suffered less severe damage in the fire that sped across 15 acres.
Residents of roughly 270 homes that have been off-limits after the blaze will be allowed to return for good starting about noon today, said San Bruno City Manager Connie Jackson. The Associated Press
