At least 45 people were displaced from an apartment building damaged by a fire in San Francisco’s North Beach area early Saturday morning, an American Red Cross spokesman said. The two-alarm blaze was reported at 1:28 a.m. at 925 Montgomery St. near Pacific Street, a fire dispatcher said. At least a couple of people, including a firefighter, were injured by the fire, Red Cross spokesman Jim Mallory said. Fire officials were not immediately available to provide more details about the injuries. The blaze has since been controlled, but firefighters remained at the building as of noontime to make sure the fire doesn’t reignite, the dispatcher said. According to published reports, about 45 residents from the building checked into the evacuation center, and about 30 have been taken to the shelter, located at the South of Market Recreation Center at 270 Sixth St, Mallory said.
