An explosion rocked a gas station in San Francisco’s Mission District Monday afternoon, triggering a meaningful fire. Fortunately, firefighters have now extinguished the blaze that erupted in an underground storage tank.
Initial reports indicate the incident occurred at a Shell station located at the intersection of 16th and Guerrero streets. Investigators are currently focusing on the possibility that an underground tank was the source of the explosion.
