A fire broke out Thursday morning at a residential building on Jackson Street near Leavenworth in SF's Nob Hill neighborhood, and it was disrupting cable car service.
The fire began at 1275 Jackson Street sometime after 8 am Thursday, and the San Francisco Fire Department posted the video below to X at 8:36 am, showing flames coming out of the roof. The building is a three-story apartment building, and a second alarm was called as the fire burned through much of the structure.
"Firefighters are finding fire and smoke on all levels," the department later tweeted.
