San Francisco firefighters have put out a fire in a six-story apartment building in the Tenderloin Sunday afternoon as of 1:54 p.m. 
The fire reached two alarms, and residents of 424 Jones St. had been evacuated, according to San Francisco Fire Department spokesperson Lt. 
Mariano Elias. 
The fire had spread to multiple floors, leaving several units damaged, Elias said. 
Three people were being medically evaluated for smoke inhalation. 
Elias said there is no estimate on how many residents will be displaced. 
The fire started around 11:39 a.m. on the building’s first floor, according Elias. 
The fire started in the light shaft, which allows lights into kitchen and bathrooms. 
Elias said that is why the fire spread to multiple floors. 
Video posted by the fire department showed two engines on Jones Street, several firefighters, and a ladder reaching up to higher floors. 
Smoke billowed out of the building’s main entrance. 
The Red Cross is on the scene, helping displaced residents, according to Elias.
