Two buildings were damaged after a fire broke out in Oakland on Tuesday afternoon.
More than 30 firefighters responded to the intersection of East 8th Street and 6th Avenue. SKY7 was over the scene where flames could be seen coming out of one home and spreading to another.
As bad as the fire looked, Oakland fire officials say no one was injured. However, officials say one of the buildings was a multi-unit apartment building and the other was a home.
Red Cross is helping seven adults and five children that were displaced by the fire.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.

A huge plume of smoke rose from a Cabazon wildfire that burned through at least 36 acres Tuesday.
Just after 2 p.m., Cal Fire/Riverside County Fire Department firefighters arrived at the fast-moving brush fire near Magnolia Street and Bonita Avenue. There were no evacuations as a result of the brusher.
Wildland firefighters, bulldozers, water trucks, and air tankers also arrived at the scene to battle the blaze, which rapidly spread through vegetation pushed by steady wind, according to Cal Fire spokesperson Tawny Castro.
All aircraft were called from the scene before 4 p.m. as firefighters made progress in containing the blaze. Firefighters would remain in the area conducting mop-up operations on the ground for several more hours.

The San Jose Fire Department said they were called to Sunrise Middle School on Wednesday morning after they received "reports of multiple patients with difficulty breathing."
Battalion Chief Robert Culbertson said that crews got a 911 call at 9 a.m. about eight students who smelled something that made them ill.
Two children were transported to the hospital, officials said, and another six students will be picked up by their parents.
A total of 25 firefighters responded and hazmat crews came in to take air samples from the rear of a particular classroom, Culberton said.
Crews are testing various cleaning products as well.
The area is isolated, Culbertson said, and the school remains open.
