2 dogs dead after early morning house fire in San Francisco's Noe Valley
Two dogs died following a house fire that broke out in San Francisco's Noe Valley neighborhood early Monday morning, the Fire Department said.
At 5:27 a.m., firefighters responded to a home on 26th Street between Castro and Diamond Streets and arrived to find a building set back from the street that was fully involved, the Fire Department said.
Lt. Mariano Elias told CBS News Bay Area the home had hoarder conditions, and a tenant reported not finding his roommate. Firefighters searched the home and initially did not find anyone; however, two dogs were found deceased and removed by the city's Animal Care and Control, Elias said.
Because of the hoarder conditions, firefighters continued to search for the other occupant, Elias said. He added that PG&E had to shut down power to the entire block and the Red Cross was called for three displaced occupants.
Later Monday morning, the three displaced occupants confirmed to CBS News Bay Area that no other residents were missing.
There was no immediate word on what caused the fire.
