Massive fire burns abandoned warehouse at naval shipyard in SF's Hunters Point, collapsing building
San Francisco -- A two-alarm fire broke out at an abandoned warehouse on Manseau St. at the former naval shipyard at Hunters Point in San Francisco in the early hours of Wednesday, the San Francisco Fire Department said.
The agency was alerted about the fire by a call around 3 a.m., Capt. Mariano Elias of the San Francisco Fire Department said.
Rescue units arrived at the location and did not find any persons inside the building, Elias added.
Fire officials determined that the best course of action would be to fight the fire from the exterior of the building and are engaged in extinguishing the flames.

According to Elias, 80% of the fire has been contained, and three-quarters of the building has collapsed upon itself because of the fire.
"There's no threat to any other buildings, and no one is injured at this time," Elias said. "It's not going to go any further, but there's still visible flames."
