Yet another fire in the long-vacant, fire-damaged building at 22nd and Mission

Screen Shot 2016-03-14 at 12.14.19 PM

Just a few weeks after city officials told the building’s former tenants to go fuck themselves, the thing goes up in flames once again.

Mission Local reports:

A 3-alarm fire broke out at the previously fire-damaged building at Mission and 22nd streets shortly after 11 p.m on Sunday night. No injuries have been reported beyond some cuts and bruises among firefighters.

By 1:20 a.m., the fire was reported under control. Residents of the adjacent building on 22nd Street, which suffered serious water damage after last year’s fire, were told that they would be able to return to their homes despite broken windows and water damage caused by the fire fighting.

The corner building has been abandoned and decaying since a fire on January 28, 2015, that apparently stemmed from an electrical fault inside a third floor wall. One man died and more than 60 residents were displaced in that fire, which caused serious damage to the building and led the city to condemn it in February.

Since then, neighbors have reported taggers going onto the roof via the fire escape and scaffolding that surrounds the building. Others said they’ve seen squatters in the derelict site in the past.

Hawaiian-style backyard feast this Saturday at El Rio

12821439_1049370955121374_8834833533278293490_n

Saturday 3pm-8pm, no cover. Here’s the plan:

Aloha! Join team ‘āina on March 12th in the iconic backyard at El Rio in the Mission for the ‘āina Pau Hana, an outdoor Hawaiian-style celebration!

‘āina, a former pop-up and soon-to-be brick and mortar in Dogpatch, is helmed by Hawai’i born and raised Chef Jordan Keao and former La Folie Bar Manager Jason Alonzo and strives to be a love letter to the islands with a strong foundation in Bay Area ethos.

As a nod to our pop-up beginnings, and with the spirit of celebration in mind, Chef has put together a cravable menu of ono grindz (delicious eats) like rice bowls and more, made to pair perfectly with a signature punch by Jason.

RSVP and invite your friends!

Nah, just kidding. It’s somebody’s lost pet we think, and the SFPD were on the scene (haha) and we think maybe it ended up with the SPCA?

(Thanks, Victoria!)

Biographical Info:

"I joked that living in the Mission would be the end of me. And there were nights where it felt like the case.

One night I went out with my friend Allan to the bar that no one goes to on 16th Street, where I lost half my drink and money on the dance floor. Later we skated down 16th to Evelyn Lee, where I fell off my board and landed on my head as the 22 bus sped past behind me. A sobering moment. At the bar, I sulked and nursed my wounds until Allan put on Amy Winehouse’s 'Valerie.' We danced, he dipped me, and I felt better."
