The fire in North Beach may be out, but the political firestorm surrounding it is still burning. Supervisor Aaron Peskin called for San Francisco Fire Chief Joanne Hayes-White to resign over what he called a poor response to a building fire in North Beach Saturday night. "No intention of resigning. No," Hayes-White said on Monday. Hayes-White called Peskin's loud behavior over the fire, disruptive. "One of the things I intend to do is respectfully request that in the future, he refrain from being around the command post or on the fire ground itself when we are actively responding to an emergency," said Hayes-White.
