BREAKING…Chaos as four underground vaults erupt under San Francisco sparking mass power shut-off, shelter in place

Published

on

Four underground vaults caught fire Thursday morning in San Francisco, prompting a shelter-in-place order in the city.

 

Crews responded to the scene around 6 a.m. along California Street and have already cleared the area.

 

Samuel Menchaca, a public information officer with the San Francisco Fire Department, said that there is no longer smoke or life-safety hazards on the street.

The Department of Emergency Management lifted the shelter in place order as of 10:15 a.m. Thursday, according to Menchaca.

 

The Fire Department received reports of smoke coming from multiple underground vaults, with smoke seen billowing into the streets.

No injuries have been reported.

 

There isn’t a cause for the fire yet, but PG&E is expected to investigate further, according to the Fire Department.

PG&E shut down additional power in the area, and a power outage was associated with the incident, according to NBC Bay Area.

 

The vaults are utility spaces underneath city streets that contain everything from electrical equipment, cables, transformers to telecommunications lines and other utility systems.

Although the now-husband and wife did not walk the red carpet together, Kelce was photographed sitting alongside Swift in the audience throughout the ceremony. Swift was the most-nominated artist of the night and took home Pop Album of the Year for “The Life of a Showgirl,” giving Kelce a sweet shout-out during her acceptance speech. When her name was announced, Swift turned to her beau for a kiss as he hyped up the crowd and encouraged them to get on their feet for her. “I think that this album probably also feels very happy and confident and free because that’s the way I get to feel every single day of my life because of my fiancé, who’s here tonight,” she said.
