A fire broke out in a two-unit building at 50 Balmy Alley on Saturday evening, according to the San Francisco Fire Department. The building is located between 24th and 25th streets, near Harrison Street.

There were no injuries and no one was displaced, said the SFFD. The fire department is conducting an investigation into the cause of the fire.

A group of people working a taco stand in the alley on Sunday morning said they witnessed the fire, and saw a lot of smoke, but no flames. They said a woman who lives in one of the affected units is temporarily staying across the street.
