Fire strikes Mission District apartments, displacing residents and a cat
"At 8:32 p.m., San Francisco firefighters got a call for a one-alarm fire at 157 San Carlos St., a four-unit building on a four-block street that runs from 18th to 21st, between Mission and Valencia streets. The fire started on the second floor of the building, said fire department spokesperson Lt. Mariana Elias, and "water was on the fire" by 8:46 p.m."
""The firefighters attacked the outside deck and then entered the building," Elias said. A police officer on site said the conflagration was extinguished within 10 minutes. The fire, Elias said, affected two units. Firefighters rescued a cat, he said, and "a few" residents will be displaced. It is unclear how many or for how long, he said, as firefighters were still at the scene as of 10:40 p.m. inspecting the burned building."
