SAN BRUNO, Calif. (KGO) -- Tuesday marks four years since the deadly PG&E pipeline explosion in San Bruno. City officials are updating the public on recovery in the Crestmoor neighborhood where 38 homes were destroyed in the blast.

Officials are outlining the steps they're pushing to improve pipeline safety statewide. The explosion and massive fire killed eight people and hurt 66 others.

PG&E faces a $1.4 billion fine in connection with the blast, which they are appealing. PG&E also faces federal criminal charges in connection with misleading or missing pipeline safety records.
