Baker Beach. The first units on scene reported heavy smoke with flames visible through multiple windows of the north-side of the building. The roof this part of the building collapsed, forcing crews to work in a defensive position by putting water on the fire at a safe distance away from the building.
Firefighters were able to get the fire under control by 4 a.m. and remained on scene through the early morning to extinguish the fire. No injuries were reported, and the incident is under investigation.
