SF Bayview Blaze Damages 7 Warehouses

SAN FRANCISCO (CBS 5 / BCN) ― A four-alarm fire that damaged seven warehouses in an industrial area of San Francisco's Bayview District also injured one firefighter and one police officer, fire officials said Monday.

The fire was reported at 10:50 a.m. Sunday at 1526 Wallace Avenue, and spread to three other buildings on Wallace Avenue and three on Van Dyke Avenue.

The fire was contained, but still had not been controlled as of Monday.

SFFD Lt. Mindy Talmadge said the blaze started in a furniture refurbishing company along an industrial avenue that is also home to a roofing company and the Golden Gate Woodturning Co.

Marco Castillo, the owner of the wood shop, said that there were some areas inside the warehouse that firefighters were still having difficulty accessing Monday.

A firefighter and police officer were transported to a hospital after suffering minor injuries but had since been released, Talmadge said.

Marijuana was found growing in one of the buildings, and police Sgt. Wilfred Williams said the SFPD's narcotics unit was investigating the find.

The cause of the fire was also under investigation.
