Eighteen people, including three children, were displaced from a Mission District home earlier this morning in a first alarm house fire.
The blaze was reported around 9 a.m. by one of the residents, who then evacuated the building until help came from nearby Station 7, said San Francisco Fire Department spokesperson, Lt. Jonathan Baxter.

Three adults were sent to the hospital for evaluation of their non-life threatening injuries, Baxter said. The Red Cross and city services are working to treat and house the building's residents.
Though the cause of the fire is still under investigation, Lt. Baxter said in a press release that the building was unequipped with working smoke detectors or fire alarms.
