The fire moved from a 1-alarm to a 2-alarm classification by the San Francisco Fire Department once the severity increased. A 2-alarm fire calls for four trucks, instead of three for a 1-alarm, equipped with water pumps and hoses, each manned by four firefighters. Three personnel units would also accompany. Each additional alarm warrants for one more truck and personnel unit.
Firefighters contained the fire a little after 8:30 p.m. The San Francisco Fire Department reported no injuries and asked the public to avoid the area.
