More than a dozen people are now looking for a new place to stay after a 2-alarm structure fire tore through a Daly City apartment building late Sunday afternoon.
The fire broke out at a two story building on Mission St. near Templeton Ave. The first calls to 911 came in around 4:15 p.m. Sunday afternoon. Thick, black smoke was coming out of the building and flames were shooting up from the roof. Crews responded to put out the blaze and the ensuing activity blocked all of Mission St. in both directions to both cars and buses.
Residents said that three apartments sit atop a Taekwondo studio. Michael Kissinger has owned the dojo for 48 years.
“I’m an ex-green beret, so I don’t really get excited about anything. And so you know, you just take it in stride and do what you’ve got to do next,” said Kissinger.
