A fire engulfed the upper unit of the building housing Radio Shack this afternoon. In case you missed the smoke but heard the sirens, here's KGO's official report:
A fire at an apartment in Noe Valley burned for 45 minutes before it was brought under control on Saturday.Twitter was more helpful:
The fire was reported shortly before 3:30 p.m. Saturday at a home along 24th Street between Noe and Castro in San Francisco.
Firefighters called a second alarm for the blaze at 3:57 p.m. Smoke from the fire could be seen for miles.
Firefighters were able to bring the fire under control shortly after 4:25 p.m.
The fire was contained to one structure that houses several apartment buildings. It's not known if anyone was inside those apartments at the time of the fire.
There were no injuries associated with the blaze.

blizzzz Dave BlizardLooks like the fire was contained to the Radio Shack building. The upper unit is trashed. :( Noe valley fire lockerz.com/s/137647530
KGO reports no injuries, but clearly at least one family was displaced. Does anyone have any info about where they will sleep tonight? Did the American Red Cross show up?
How can Noe Valley help?

Good coverage, guys. KGO was right on it too. Thanks.
The Red Cross did show up. They had a truck parked on 24th by 7:00 or so.
FYI, if anyone's concerned: we're all ok (no injuries or close calls), and have plenty of supportive friends that we can stay with while we figure things out. Lots of kind neighbors have offered their help, and it's immensely appreciated.
Gonzalo and neighbors. If you need help with anything, please feel free to call Supervisor Scott Wiener's Office: 554-6968. We are there to help.
If any help is needed, Friends of Noe Valley will coordinate with Supervisor Wiener's office to assist in any manner.
We are all glad no one was injured.
