One apartment unit was damaged following a one-alarm fire in San Francisco’s Outer Sunset neighborhood Saturday afternoon.
The incident happened just after 2 p.m. at an apartment building in the 3600 block of Taraval Street.
According to the San Francisco Fire Department, over 40 firefighters were on the scene as they were able to contain the fire.
No injuries were reported.
The fire damaged a two-bedroom apartment on the second floor, where four adults and two kids lived. The family told NBC Bay Area that they lived there about two years and now they don’t know where they’ll go. One of the displaced family members said he is a teacher with San Francisco Unified School District and some of his lesson plans and equipment were burned in the fire.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.
"It's very fortunate that there were no injuries to this, but any fire is one fire too many," said Captain Jonathan Baxter with the San Francisco Fire Department.
"If we can prevent fires from recurring that’s going to be the best outcome," Baxter continued.
The fire was close to the Riptide bar, the bar was closed and sustained only minimal water damage, according to officials.

The fire brought back scary and familiar feelings for businesses on this block.
In 2015, a fire burned The Riptide and the business next door.
