Underground Electrical Fire Along San Francisco Market St. Prompts Evacuations, Muni Reroutes
SAN FRANCISCO (CBS SF) -- People were evacuated from a building along San Francisco's Market Street Tuesday morning following an electrical fire in the basement, fire officials said.
The fire was reported at 9:17 a.m. at 1019 Market St., the address for the headquarters of the software company Zendesk.
No injuries were reported in the one-alarm fire which led to the evacuation of the seven-story building as firefighters worked to put out the blaze.
PG&E also responded, and was working on the building's electrical component.
Market Street has been closed between Fifth and Eighth streets. San Francisco Municipal Railway's F-Market streetcar line and multiple Muni bus lines were re-routed as a result of the fire.
It was not immediately clear when Market Street would reopen to vehicles and when Muni service would return to normal.
