An explosion on Saturday afternoon suspected to have been caused by a gas leak prompted authorities to shut down a major freeway in Los Angeles County and order residents to shelter in place.

The explosion is the latest in a series of gas-safety incidents involving PG&E, evoking memories of a 2010 blast in San Bruno that killed eight people

SAN FRANCISCO — A gas explosion set off a major fire in a San Francisco Bay Area neighborhood on Thursday after obliterating at least one home, blowing out windows and shaking nearby houses. Six people were taken to hospitals for injuries, fire officials said.

Six injured, homes damaged after a PG&E‑related gas line strike sparked a three‑alarm blast near Hayward. See the startling video and what to know.

The cause is preliminarily believed to be a natural gas leak, with utility workers at the scene because of a gas odor when the explosion occurred.

It's been less than a week since a massive explosion near Hayward after a construction crew hit a gas line, and now concerned neighbors are demanding answers from the Alameda County Board of Supervisors.

A gas explosion started a major fire in a San Francisco Bay Area neighborhood on Thursday, damaging several homes and sending heavy smoke into the air.

An explosion and fire rocked a Shell gas station at 16th and Guerrero streets in the Mission, sending smoke over San Francisco.

An explosion was reported Tuesday at the facility that was recently rebranded as the Bristol Health & Rehab Center.
