Damage was pretty much limited to the container where the fire started and did not spread. The building is closed for investigation and noone is allowed to enter currently. Fortunately nobody was hurt and a great deal of Bay Area art (<a href="http://www.kineticsteamworks.org/" rel="nofollow">Kinetic Steam Works</a> and <a href="http://www.interpretivearson.com/" rel="nofollow">Interpretive Arson</a> are current tenants among a number of others) is safe.
