A two-alarm fire early Thursday morning damaged a clothing store and cafe that share a building in San Francisco’s Haight-Ashbury neighborhood, a fire department spokeswoman said.

Firefighters responded at 4:59 a.m. and found a blaze burning at True Clothing and the People’s Cafe, located at 1415 and 1419 Haight St., near Masonic Avenue, fire spokeswoman Mindy Talmadge said.

“The crews got in there pretty quickly,” Talmadge said. “It was very visible when they arrived at the scene.”

The flames were mostly in the rear of the building and its attic, and firefighters were able to extinguish the fire by 5:43 a.m., she said.

No one was injured.

Talmadge did not yet have a damage estimate and said the cause of the blaze remains under investigation.
