Fire investigators in San Francisco are still trying to figure out exactly what caused a home in the city’s Sunset neighborhood to burst into flames Thursday morning, killing one person inside.
Heavy equipment was brought in on Friday to help fire investigators sift through the remains of the home on the 1700 block of 22nd Ave. near Noriega Street. Firefighters removed several large canisters and barrels from the remains of the home.
The explosion was so powerful that it shook nearby homes, shattered windows, and jammed doors. So far, the SFFD, says it's too early to conclude what caused the fire, but acknowledged that the presence of the canisters was not normal. "It’s extremely hard on anybody. It’s going to be extremely hard on the family, this community, but also the first responders," said Baxter."I saw one woman run out, just covered in soot, and her clothes were just shredded. Just completely hanging off of her," said neighbor Charlotte Kwong.For some neighbors, the explosion was an incredibly close call.
