SAN FRANCISCO (BCN) - A two-alarm fire that displaced six people in Hayes Valley last month was intentionally set, San Francisco fire officials said today.
The fire broke out at a home on Haight Street near Octavia Boulevard at 2:12 a.m.
Firefighters called a second alarm about 10 minutes later as they contended with heavy fire coming mainly from the attic area. It took until shortly after 3 a.m. to get it under control.
Fire department spokesman Lt. Jonathan Baxter confirmed today that the fire was deliberately set. He said the investigation was continuing and he could not provide further details.
Six people were displaced by the fire and assisted by the American Red Cross.
