Another Noe Valley House Fire


There have been a few big fires around the City in the last few weeks, including the two-alarm fire on 24th St (don't forget the benefit this Thursday) and the porch fire at 1209 Church that attracted all the early morning helicopters on Friday. There was another on Sunday at 22nd and Sanchez. We weren't around, but a Upper Noe neighbor sent us the above picture, adding that it was taken just after the SFFD arrived about 5:30pm.

Here's a little more info on today's fire from Twitter:

Ya, I live nearby....the fire department got to the fire very quickly (bravo) saving the house and also saving the adjoining houses; thankfully, no one was injured...the fire department rescued the resident cat and the paramedics gave the kitty oxygen...the house is historic and one of the first ones built on the hill (1885)and used to be owned and occupied by a famous drag queen who starred for many years (as Joan Crawford) at the once very famous and now defunct Finocchio's.

Our awesome Fire Fighters had this blaze extinguished in between 5 and 7 minutes! Incredibly fast! Why would we EVER want to cut funding for our Fire Stations???

Are you saying that if we had to give the fire fighters a 10% paycut, they would not extinguish the fires in 5-7 minutes?
