The alarm was sent just after midnight and the arriving units to the unoccupied single-family house found fire in the rear of the building and spreading into the roof. There was an initial search and attack inside the building, but just as they started, the fire grew and spread extremely fast. The IC ordered everybody out and off of the house. As the evacuation was underway, the rear part of the roof collapsed on three firefighters still undeneath.
One of the firefighters suffered severe respiratory tract burns and is in intensive care. He is listed as having “life-threatening injury.” Report from the hospital says his survival will be determined in the next 72 hours.
The San Francisco Chronicle has the story along with a 12-minute raw video report of the fire HERE.
