3-Alarm Fire Burns Buildings In SF Richmond Dist.

SAN FRANCISCO (CBS 5 / BCN) ― Fifteen people were displaced by a three-alarm fire that damaged three residential buildings in San Francisco's Richmond District late Thursday afternoon, a fire lieutenant said.

The fire was reported around 4:40 p.m. near the intersection of Second Avenue and Balboa Street and was controlled around 5:15 p.m.

Fire Lt. Ken Smith said the blaze appears to have started in the top floor of a three-story duplex that was under construction at 607 and 609 Second Ave. The fire also damaged two adjacent buildings.

The fire damaged two of four units at 101-107 Balboa St., displacing 15 residents of that building, Smith said. Additionally, a liquor store at the bottom of that building sustained some water damage and will likely be closed for a couple days, he said.

A four-story, single-family home at 611 Second Ave. received some damage, but its residents were allowed to return to the home, Smith said.

There was no report of injuries and the cause of the fire is under investigation. The American Red Cross responded to provide assistance to the displaced residents.
