The China Basin fire was a five-alarm fire[1] that occurred shortly before 5:00 p.m. on March 11, 2014, in the Mission Bay neighborhood of San Francisco, California.[2] The conflagration appeared to completely destroy Block 5, a 172-unit building,[3] part of Mega Blocks 360,[4] a US$227,000,000 apartment complex being developed by San Francisco-based BRE Properties Inc. at China Basin and Fourth Street.[5]
By the end of the day, the 150 firefighters dispatched to the event managed to mostly contain the fire. One firefighter sustained second-degree burns to the face and hands, and a fire chief sprained an ankle, but no other casualties were reported.[6]
