You might have noticed it smelled like burning plastic in the south part of San Francisco Monday afternoon.
A fire burning at a home off Monterey Boulevard in the Westwood Highlands neighborhood, near the border of Glen Park, was pumping out a towering plume of smoke.
"It was a huge fire," said Sunny Chanel, who lives nearby. "Our block is thick with smoke and blocks away, you could hear the crackling of the fire."
Chanel reports the fire on Melrose Ave. started after 1 p.m. and looked to be contained by 2:15 p.m., as the sky no longer appeared black with smoke. Users on the SF Citizen app shared video and comments, showing firefighters on the scene.
The San Francisco Fire Department tweeted the fire was contained at 3:22 p.m., and no injuries were reported. It is unclear how many people may have been displaced by the blaze.
