SAN FRANCISCO - An apartment building in San Francisco caught fire Saturday evening, prompting a four-alarm response, according to the San Francisco Fire Department.
The fire was burning an apartment building on Washington and Larkin Streets in the Nob Hill neighborhood. At least three people were assessed for injuries, SFFD Chief Dean Crispen said.
Crispen said those three people were pulled from the fire.
A dog was also missing.
Fire officials said the fire extended throughout the building, burning all three floors. The buildings next to the apartment sustained damage from the fire as well.
Crispen said they had to cut several holes in the building's roof to stop the fire's spread in the attic space.
The fire was first reported to be a second-alarm before being upgraded to a fourth-alarm fire as the blazes grew, Crispen said.
It's unclear what caused the fire. It's unclear how many people were displaced by the fire.
