The fire started at about 8:30 p.m. on Thursday on the 1000 block of Diamon Street in Noe Valley at a 3-story Victorian home undergoing renovations.
The cause of the fire was a small gas line explosion inside the home. Neighbors heard the commotion as it unfolded, and could smell the fire from down the block.
One man working on the house was injured at the scene.
The fire crew on the scene located and rescued the victim from the home, according to Lt. Jonathan Baxter with the San Francisco Fire Department, where he was then treated on scene by paramedics.
"That individual has been transported to a local burn hospital with serious injuries," said Baxter.
The 1-alarm response had over 30 personnel at the scene of the fire. Engine 11 responded within two minutes of the 911 calls that came in.
No other structures were burned in the blaze, and there were no other injuries.
This was one of two fires in the city Thursday night. The other, at the Great Highway near Ocean Beach, had no injuries.
