A fire appears to have broken out in an apartment building on the corner of Hayes and Octavia streets this evening, around 9:45pm. 

[Update, 11pm: The fire appears to be out. We'll have more, most likely in the morning]

We were first alerted to the situation by a Periscope video recorded by Mike Vladimer, which shows at least three fire trucks and a growing crowd at the scene. Although no smoke could be seen coming out of the windows SFFD does appear to be treating this seriously, at one point even extending a ladder to the top floor. 

The news also broke on Twitter, with more images captured at the scene:
