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.
