There was a fire in the University Park South residential apartments at approximately 3 p.m. today.

According to Captain Takahashi of the San Francisco Police Department, there was a call made around 3 p.m. about smoke located near the intersection of Holloway Avenue and Font Boulevard. Five fire trucks and several police cars arrived at the scene minutes later.

The unidentified male SF student, who lives in the apartment with a resident who is not affiliated with the university, was not home during the fire. Officers had to force their way into the apartment by opening the front door with a crowbar, said Takahashi.

Officer J.A. Mora and Officer V. Phan of the San Francisco Police Department said that a lamp fell over onto the mattress and caught fire. There were no reported injuries, and there was minimal damage to the house, said Officers Mora and Phan.

The mattress, blanket and burnt pillow were were pulled out of the apartment and remained near the front door after the fire was extinguished. One of the residents returned home around 4 p.m.

University spokeswoman Ellen Griffin said that the exact cause of the fire has not yet been officially confirmed. Both of the residents were re-located to a temporary unit for tonight.
