A huge explosion rocked San Bruno shortly after 6 p.m. today, sending up a massive fireball and a white and black plume of smoke that is visible for miles.

Television pictures of the blast site along Skyline Boulevard showed at least half a dozen houses on fire and trees in the neighborhood fully engulfed in a surging blaze.

San Mateo County sheriff's deputies and police were evacuating residents near the fireball. Firefighters are going door to door, ordering people out of their houses and setting up equipment to battle the raging flames.

A San Bruno police dispatcher said she did not know what had exploded. Some of those interviewed on television are saying they heard and saw an airplane crash before the explosion.
