Shelter-in-Place Orders Lifted Amid Fire in Seventh-Day Adventist Church Under Construction

A shelter-in-place order and isolated evacuations issued during the firefight have since been lifted. The American Red Cross and the San Francisco Human Services Agency provided support to those affected. The cause is under investigation by the San Francisco Fire Investigation Task Force, which is standard for a fire of this size.

As conditions worsened, firefighters shifted from an interior attack to a defensive operation and used drone-mounted thermal imaging to help direct their efforts. The fire was declared under control by 9:10 p.m.

The San Francisco Fire Department responded to five 911 calls reporting a structure fire at about 1:30 p.m. and arrived in less than three minutes to find smoke coming from the church. Crews launched an aggressive interior attack, but the fire grew—fueled by the building's age, open interior voids, ongoing construction, and high winds.

A fire that broke out at a Seventh-day Adventist church near California and Broderick streets escalated to a third alarm on Monday, drawing more than 100 firefighters. No injuries were reported.

The fire remains an active three-alarm incident. The American Red Cross is en route to assist those affected.

All shelter-in-place orders have been lifted; however, evacuations remain in effect for two homes near the church.

Good progress has been made on the three-alarm fire — most of the active flames have been extinguished, the SFFD said.

Reports indicate smoke from the fire is being smelled citywide, with calls coming from various locations.
