SAN FRANCISCO — A firefighter is recovering from a head injury sustained while battling a restaurant fire Monday afternoon.
CBS San Francisco reported that the firefighter lost consciousness, fell down and hit his head at the fire in San Francisco’s North Beach neighborhood.
He was transported to a hospital for treatment.
Initial reports indicated that the kitchen’s flue had been the source of the fire, but reports were later updated to show that the fire was caused by a steam generator, according to the report.
“It was in the flue, but the cause was from a steam generator,” San Francisco fire spokeswoman Mindy Talmadge said.
Damage estimates were not immediately available.
