San Francisco Fire Chief Joanne Hayes-White said the fire was ignited when construction workers cut a natural gas line. Firefighters worked to keep the fire from spreading while Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E) crews tried to shut off the natural gas line. A PG&E pipeline exploded under a neighbourhood south of San Francisco in 2010, killing eight people.
