SAN FRANCISCO (KCBS Radio) – It was a scene that tied together two symbols of life in the Bay Area today: an early morning fire that started at a homeless encampment in San Francisco spread to a parking lot housing row after row of shuttle buses bound for the Apple campus.
The fire started at about 3:45 a.m. Friday at a camp in the city’s Bayview neighborhood that is known as “homeless row” – a long line of tents and other makeshift shelters along the Caltrain tracks beneath I-280. It jumped the fence separating the camp from the Storer parking lot and singed the side of an office trailer.
No one was injured and the cause of the fire is still under investigation.
