What we know about gas explosion in San Francisco
SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- A gas leak that led to a major explosion and fire evacuated residents and shut down streets in San Francisco Wednesday afternoon.
The ABC7 News I-Team's Dan Noyes was on air for hours covering the fire, and has lots of information about PG&E and the company that was doing the digging that led to today's explosion.
MCI Metro/Verizon had the permit to dig on the street today, but a third party contractor was actually doing the work, Dan reports.
That company is MasTec, a construction company based out of Coral Gables, Florida.
They apparently have an office in Walnut Creek, and it was their crew of 8-10 workers, one of them operating that excavator, that cut into the 12-inch gas main.
