San Francisco firefighters battled a three-alarm fire in the West Portal neighborhood that damaged multiple buildings and injured a firefighter.

Firefighters were called to the fire late Monday morning as fire quickly spread to multiple businesses, officials said it appears may have been caused by a roofing crew, according to a report by KTVU Fox 2.

Crews used a trench cut to help halt the spread of fire through structures. With the trench cut in place, firefighters were able to bring the fire under control.

The fire caused damage to multiple buildings along the block including West Portal Cleaners, Fuji Japanese Restaurant, and a US Post Office.

Close to one-hundred firefighters were called to battle the fire that took fire crews around one hour to bring under control.
