SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. — A four-alarm fire burning on San Bruno Mountain in South San Francisco sent a large plume of smoke in the air that was visible from several miles away. Dry conditions helped fuel the blaze that was reported at about 1:55 p.m. Saturday.
Over 100 firefighters battled the blaze and stayed through the night to make sure it didn’t reignite because at one point the flames were so tall, they were as high as Eucalyptus trees.
It was a full-fledged fire fight from the get go. Flames quickly ate up the dry vegetation on the San Bruno Mountain. Crews attacked the fire from above and from the ground. Officials say getting on top of it was crucial.
