About 45 residents were displaced in the Tenderloin after a sixth-floor fire early Friday morning at 50 Golden Gate Ave. Evacuees are temporarily staying in a Muni bus. The fire began on the top floor of the six-story building just after 3 a.m. The flames affected the attic and roof. Over 100 firefighters responded and prevented the blaze from spreading to lower floors or nearby buildings. Multiple occupants and six cats were rescued and no injuries were reported. Records show the building was built in 1911, and its age complicated firefighting efforts. The fire was contained by 5:30 a.m., roughly two and a half hours after arrival.
