It looks like a fuel line broke to me, doesnt look like jet fuel. The fire looks over 100 feet in air, gotta be gas/fuel line.

I am listening to the live news site and a retired PG&E guy called, hes saying hes 99% sure its gas. It seems to be burning off once gets to certain distance away and its a constant flame.

Post by: redman555 on September 09, 2010, 09:40:52 PM: The Gas line looks like running out, fire is atleast half the size. Was 100ft+ and now around 50-60ft

One had a black lab, pup managed to get to safety as well (and is now teaching my own black lab puppy some tricks as i type). Everyone in their places are safe, thank god.
