SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- A 5-alarm fire is burning at a high-rise building under construction on 4th Street near China Basin in San Francisco. The blaze was reported at 4:56 p.m. at Fourth and China Basin streets. The building is reportedly apartments that were set to open in a few months. The property that is burning does not belong to the nearby University of California at San Francisco, a UCSF spokeswoman said. San Francisco Fire Department spokesperson Mindy Talmadge says there is a lot of radiant heat coming from the burning building. Firefighters have decided to pull back from the fire due to concerns about collapse. Shortly after 6 p.m., part of the building appeared to collapse in on itself.

Lots and lots of computer gaming startups there:

That passes for a high rise in San Francisco? There are buildings more than twice that tall in Frisco, Texas.
WOW...is the darkness an effect of the camera...it’s still daylight out there now?
Post 11 shows how dark the smoke was early on
Yea, but before those you had the grain silo and some of the best dove hunting in the fields between there and Little Elm.
Does the owner have to get an emergency permit for the air pollution?
It’s near AT&T Park.
Hearing rumors it’s Bush’s fault.
