The latest from various sources:
120 homes damaged and 53 destroyed
one confirmed fatality with possibly two others
dozens injured with critical burns to several people
the disaster area is in a microclime known as the "San Bruno Gap" and is highly wind-prone which contributed to fire spread
From my own knowledge: NTSB has primary responsibility for the investigation of this incident as they do all pipeline mishaps
