A third alarm was sounded at 6:14 a.m. and, with 100 firefighters on hand, the blaze was under control by around 8 a.m. The fire, according to San Francisco Fire Department Media on Twitter, took place during shift change, which meant that many of the firefighters who arrived on site at first were replaced with a new crew as the fire wore on.By 10 a.m., the fire had been out for a couple hours but the intersection at Noe and Henry streets was still blocked off as police cars, an SFFD paramedic unit, and more than half a dozen fire trucks filled the streets.
