5 people displaced in overnight house fire in San Francisco's Noe Valley
Five people, including two children, were displaced after a fire broke out at a home in San Francisco's Noe Valley neighborhood early Thursday morning.
Shortly after 2:30 a.m., firefighters were called to a home on the 1300 block of Sanchez Street, between 26th and 27th Streets, the department announced on social media. When crews arrived, they found what they described as a "fast moving" fire on the second floor of the three story residence.
During the response, a live electrical wire fell on the first arriving truck company. Pacific Gas & Electric Co. responded to de-energize the wire.
All five displaced residents were able to evacuate on their own and no injuries were reported. The Red Cross were called to the scene to assist.
Firefighters were able to contain the fire shortly after 3 a.m. At least 70 firefighters were part of the response.
No adjoining homes were damaged.
The fire department said the cause appeared to be accidental or electrical.
