You can hear and see an explosion at 52 seconds in the embedded video. Hope all the fire crews and duty section are able to survive this, looks like injuries already reported.
Listening to live scanner.

That is my thought as well.
In watching the live feed a lot of black smoke is now billowing out of her.
When I was listening to the SDFD feed about 90 minutes ago, they pulled back all units and evacuated the crew when the fire spread to the fuel.
