Just after 6 p.m. last night, a one-alarm fire broke out in a home at 35th Avenue and Noriega Street in the Outer Sunset.
Two people were rescued from the house, which was "fully engulfed" in flames, officials said. One man suffered burn injuries, and was taken to a burn unit at a local hospital.
Officials said the fire was brought under control roughly an hour after it started. Three adults have been displaced from their homes, along with a dog, while two cats remained missing as of Tuesday evening.
