Is that a second one or the first one repeated?

just like you said Jay-still dealing with residual gas
lots of residential gas lines feeding the burnt structures.

From what I heard it is the 2nd fatality
Another fatality reported. Scannerlive lets you set up the right and left channels as separate so it scans them better.
2 shelters now open.

Was looking at Google Maps of the area. Looks like San Bruno FD has/had a station right near the blast area (corner of Skyline & Sneath). Be real interesting to hear/read their report when this is all over.
Yup.. a 24" main will have >5400 cubic inches, or 23.5 gallons, of natural gas per linear foot of pipe. If they had to shut it down slowly to avoid ruptures elsewhere (can't slam it shut or the vibrations will damage things), and the shutdown was a good distance away, that would take ages to drain.
I seem to recall a fire in the US central Great Lakes area back in the '80s - can't remember exactly where. Someone stealing metal from a natural gas substation managed to damage a regulator that brought the mains pressures down to residential pressures (~35psi to 1/4 or 1/8 psi). Suddenly 20-60 houses had five foot long flames coming from the pilot lights of all their gas appliances. Having you guys mention the residential lines reminds me of that.

Found another DOA near ~1675 Clairmont Drive I believe.
This makes 3? Just sounded 2 mins ago.

Update
North branch units have been advised to assume power lines are still HOT. Awaiting confirmation from PG&E that they have been de-energized

That's where the second one was reported - are you sure it's a third?
1670 was the 2nd one, I think. Saw a tweet on this link: Intellispace – NTARC Live Incident Monitor – San Bruno Explosion : Homeland Security News mentioning that the coroner on scene had only confirmed two fatalities.

that was the 2nd fatality
That went out to all branches a few moments before that while the right channel was drowning it out.
Hearing that the power failure over the entire region (obviously from wires down) is causing cell sites to fail which is causing everyone - police, civilians, fire, etc - to be unable to communicate by phone.
the clamont had 2 bodies from what i read unconfirmed from the radio though
