Last night, a two-alarm fire drew a major emergency response to Exeter Street in San Francisco's Bayview neighborhood. Fire crews remained on scene into the night as they worked to contain the flames and push back heavy smoke.
Crews race to Exeter Street
A short video from KPIX Bay Area shows firefighters and multiple rigs crowding the street after crews were called to Exeter last night, prompting a two-alarm response. The footage captures firefighters working along the curb and from aerial ladders while neighbors look on from nearby blocks.
Bayview's fire risk and context
The Bayview-Hunters Point area has seen more fires than many other San Francisco neighborhoods in recent years, a pattern that has made fast, large responses to both structure and vehicle fires a familiar sight, SFGATE reported. That track record helps explain why multiple engine companies are often dispatched when a call comes from this part of the city.
Details remain limited
There was no immediate word on injuries or what sparked the blaze, and authorities had not released additional details early today, according to KPIX Bay Area. This story will be updated as the San Francisco Fire Department or other officials release more information.
