SF house fire injures 3, including firefighter

Three people, including a firefighter, were injured during a Monday morning blaze that damaged two houses in San Francisco’s Outer Sunset and left 13 residents displaced, officials said.

The fire was never called in, but an engine company driving nearby spotted smoke in the distance around 11 a.m., then drove around until firefighters found the blaze in the 1900 block of 35th Avenue, personnel said.

Nine people lived in the two-story house where the fire originated, Baxter said.

Flames spread to another two-story home next door, where officials said a family of four was displaced but not injured.
