There was a massive fire in San Francisco, nearby residents had expressed concerns about homeless camps months earlierhttps://hotair.com/john-s-2/2023/08/02/there-was-a-massive-fire-in-san-francisco-nearby-residents-had-expressed-concerns-about-homeless-camps-months-earlier-n568796Yesterday there was a massive fire in San Francisco at a construction site next to some occupied homes. The city’s Fire Chief said her first impression on seeing the fire was that it had the potential to take out an entire city block. Thanks solely to the hard work of about 140 SFFD firefighters that didn’t happen.

No one was hurt but eight people were displaced from their homes because of damage caused by the fire. Like probably half the people in they city, I immediately had my own suspicious about how this got started but didn’t write about it yesterday because I didn’t want to speculate.
Today, we still don’t know for certain how this got started but we have learned their residents in the area had previously written a letter to elected officials sharing their concerns about homeless camps nearby, in particular about fires at those camps.
Hayes Valley is in or near the Tenderloin, a seedy area longer than I've been around and now a haven for
The Sacred Homeless. This fire probably was not a question of "if", but of "when".
