A major fire early Saturday morning destroyed a fish processing and storage warehouse at San Francisco’s Fisherman’s Wharf and for a time threatened part of the popular tourist area.
Flames from the blaze shot more than 40 feet in air and billows of black smoke shrouded the waterfront as 150 firefighters with 50 trucks and other pieces of equipment fought the fire on Pier 45, next to the SS Jeremiah O’Brien, the last of the World War II liberty ships.
The pier was evacuated and no injuries were reported.
Fire Department Lt. Jonathan Baxter said that as of 8:30 a.m. the fire was still active but was no longer in danger of spreading. The walls of the warehouse collapsed, he added, and firefighters were pouring water on the remaining hot spots.
There were a number of workers in the warehouse when the blaze broke out.
Lloyd Dizon, a sales person for Aloha Seafood, was taking orders when the fire began, shortly after 4 a.m.
“It started like a little thing, then the whole structure started,” he said. “A few seconds later, the building started caving in.”
Other workers reported an explosion before the fire began.
Alejandro Arellano, who works for La Rocca Seafood, was cleaning out a fish storage locker.
“I saw a lot of smoke. A few minutes later, fire everywhere,” he said. “It was very, very scary. I’ve never seen anything like it.”
Hours after the fire broke out, about two dozen workers from the warehouse, many still wearing their yellow fish-processing aprons, gathered behind Alioto’s restaurant to watch firefighters pour water on the collapsed shed. They showed each other cell phone pictures they had taken of the fire and wondered when and how they will be going back to work.
The streets around the pier were almost paved with yellow hoses, some stretching for as many as four blocks to a hydrant at Beach and Taylor streets. Firefighters from at least a dozen trucks were spraying water on the blaze, with three ladder trucks drenching the warehouse from at least 50 feet above.
The first call came at 4:15 a.m. Truck 13 from the Sansome Street station in the Financial District was the first on the scene, and fast action by its crew prevented the fire from spreading, Baxter said.
The truck company nearly paid a heavy price. Flames from the blaze rolled out and singed the truck, forcing firefighters to turn their hoses on the vehicle to save it, Baxter said. The truck was slightly damaged, but no people were hurt.
The blaze was confined to the north end of the pier, well away from the Musée Mécanique and its historic arcade games and the restaurants and other businesses in the popular tourist area.

Kenny Belov, owner of TwoXSea, a sustainable seafood wholesaler in a building only about 50 feet from the warehouse, learned of the fire in a phone call from one of his employees about 4:45 a.m. Then his plant manager sent a video taken on the loading dock facing the fire.
“Just breathtaking,” Belov said. “It was this massive blaze.”
Five of Belov’s employees were in the building at the time, he said, and they all evacuated safely. There was no damage to TwoXSea “as far as I know,” he added.
Belov estimated that hundreds of vehicles typically are parked in the warehouse, mostly a mix of employees’ cars and delivery trucks.
He acknowledged the crazy timing of the fire, atop the closure of restaurants caused by the coronavirus pandemic and shelter-in-place orders. Belov abruptly pivoted his business to home delivery, and he had several deliveries scheduled Saturday that wouldn’t be going out.
He also was worried a prolonged power outage could ruin the fish in his deep freezer.
“Not that it would ever need this, but the seafood industry didn’t need this now,” Belov said. “It’s surreal. We’ve obviously had a tough go the last couple months, with restaurants (closed). … Of all the problems in the world, this is not a big one. But it’s frustrating.”
The offices of the Red and White Fleet, a bay tour company, also were destroyed, fire officials said.
Thick black smoke rolled over the bay from the blaze, which at its height sent flames climbing into the sky in the pre-dawn darkness. Even as firefighters brought the blaze under control, a thick pall of choking smoke hung over the waterfront.
Department fireboats were used to fight the blaze. Coast Guard and police marine units also were assisting, keeping other vessels from the area.
The fireboat St. Francis was used to protect the liberty ship.
“Aggressive, quick and swift action saved the Jeremiah O’Brien,” Baxter said. Minor paint bubbling from the heat was the only apparent damage to the ship.
The warehouse, which is near the end of the concrete pier, holds fish processing equipment as well as hundreds of crab pots.
Traffic has been blocked at Taylor Street and Jefferson Street. Heavy smoke, visible across the city, hung over the area.

aleister Crowley connection???
The company is family owned to this day, and dates back to 1892, when Thomas C Crowley launched a ferry and tugboat business. In the late 1930s, the company - with the building of San Francisco's two bridges - moved into the sightseeing business, offering visitors an opportunity to cruise under the Golden Gate and Bay Bridges. In 1997, Tom Escher purchased the Red and White Fleet from Crowley Maritime.
