Fire!

9 December, 2005 by Adam R. Paul

We had a bit more excitement than planned last night – a 3-alarm fire broke out in an Edwardian house right across the street from us.

Being as much of SF, and the Haight in particular, is comprised of old wooden buildings built right next to one another, fire is the last thing anyone wants to see on their block!

Thankfully there were no injuries, but the top floor and roof of the house are a total loss, and I’m sure their neighbors sustained smoke & water damage 😦  This morning we saw a number of our neighbors packing up what was salvagable and moving to whatever temporary digs they could find.  Sad at any time, but especially during the holiday season.
