By 4:24 p.m., the blaze had been escalated to three alarms and, according to NBC Bay Area, at least 85 firefighters were on the scene to battle the flames.
By 5:20 p.m. the firefighters triumphed, NBC reports, controlling the blaze that had spread to a second building.
At publication time, no injuries had been reported. Mission Local reports that “it looks like no one was harmed just a cat that needed some oxygen.”
In any case, drivers are urged to avoid the area, as emergency vehicles continue to block nearby streets.
