Fire Critic An Unadulterated View of the Fire Service
A huge, out-of-control fire caused catastrophic damage to a quarter-billion-dollar apartment complex under construction at Fourth Street near China Basin in San Francisco on Tuesday evening, according to the San Francisco Fire Department.
The massive blaze broke out shortly after 5 p.m., spreading through the building quickly and sending embers floating toward nearby buildings as fire crews worked to contain the blaze. Shortly before 6 p.m., one side of the building collapsed, and a fire dispatcher with the department confirmed the structure was collapsing internally.
A six-alarm fire is burning at Fourth Street and China Basin in San Francisco, engulfing one building that’s under construction and threatening to spread to surrounding apartments, according to NBC Bay Area.
The apartment building, which was being built by Suffolk Construction, was slated to open this year, per the SF Chronicle. No injuries have been reported to this point.
