Video of the fire shows a partial collapse during fire operations.
At least four neighboring homes were damaged during the fire and several people were displaced.
“When I pulled up, I thought we were going to see possibly a full block go down,” San Francisco Fire Chief Jeanine Nicholson told CBS Bay Area. “So, really proud of the members and what they did today, really limiting, limiting the impact to an entire neighborhood.”
Fire officials are now concerned about a possible collapse of construction scaffolding.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.
