ABC7: WATCH LIVE: Smoke from 4-alarm fire at Pier 45 at Fisherman's Wharf visible across SF skyline

SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- Crews are battling a four-alarm fire burning at a warehouse at Pier 45 at Fisherman's Wharf Saturday morning.
...
Firefighters tell ABC7 additional structures and the SS Jeremiah O'Brien ship were threatened by the fire.

The O'Brien ship is one of two remaining fully functioning Liberty ships launched during World War II.

Firefighters say the warehouse is a "total loss," though a fire boat was able to save the O'Brien ship, fire officials said just before 6:30 a.m.

...
The fire was first reported around 4:40 a.m.
...

It's unclear what ignited the flames and investigators are now working to learn the cause and origin of the fire.

Crews say no one was hurt in the fire.

I am glad no one is hurt. But this is a tourist spot and this fire happened right before memorial day...



edit:

We can confirm the O'Brien remains intact and doing well. This is only because of the rapid response of our amazing SF Firefighters & Fire boats.

Wife told me there was a fire. Didn't realize it was this big.

Heard about this when I read that my favorite arcade ever Musee Mechanique was thankfully unscathed.

The only place where you can find a Silent Scope machine nowadays!

Sucks, man.

What a goddamn huge blaze, that is insane. Sorry for those affected by the damage.

Very glad that the museum isn't lost. I was really worried that the Pampanito, and Jeremiah O'Brien would burn, but they were saved.
