SAN FRANCISCO San Francisco fire officials say a massive blaze that barreled through an apartment building construction site last month was accidental, not arson.
In a report released Tuesday, investigators say the five-alarm fire on March 11 in the city's Mission Bay neighborhood began when a hot or smoldering object ignited wood that was part of the building's structure.
Fire spokeswoman Mindy Talmadge said a more detailed report that could explain what caused the blaze is expected in the next couple of weeks.
Fire officials said a day after the fire that they were looking into preliminary reports that workers at the block-long site were doing torch work.
The fire threatened nearby structures and prompted evacuations as firefighters worked to prevent its spread through the neighborhood.

Officials: Massive San Francisco fire last month that forced evacuations accidental, not arson

BELLINGHAM - Construction of a 42-unit apartment building for homeless and low-income people should begin within the next month, and a lawsuit seeking to revoke a permit for the building is likely to be settled this week.
A nonprofit called the Association of Bellingham Merchants and Citizens formed in September 2013 to challenge the project, to be built downtown on Cornwall Avenue. Doug Robertson, a Bellingham lawyer who represented the association in its appeal, said on Tuesday, April 15, final settlement documents should be completed Wednesday or Thursday.
The lawsuit, filed against building developer Catholic Housing Services and the city, claimed city planners should not have issued a permit for the project, and did not adequately review the impacts the building and its tenants would have on the neighborhood. Of the 42 apartments, 32 would be slated for homeless people, including some with mental illness and addictions.
The association argued in its suit that the city should have required Catholic Housing Services to make parking available to the public. The one-acre project site is now a parking lot.
Perhaps an even bigger concern for the merchants in the association was that another low-income housing project downtown would be bad for business.
Documents filed with the state show that the people involved in the association include Bellingham attorney Bradley Swanson; David Johnston, an owner of Leopold Retirement Residences and part owner of the Herald Building; and Kae Moe, co-owner of Kulshan Cycles.
"The project as approved will significantly diminish the value of surrounding real estate, interfere with and devalue existing businesses ... and negatively impact the interface between the central city core and the future development of the waterfront," the group's appeal said.
Nearby business owners have criticized the Cornwall proposal since it first gained publicity two years ago. They said residents at existing Catholic Housing Services apartments, such as Kateri Court and the Grocery Building, smoke, loiter and otherwise discourage customers from coming into their shops.

Construction to begin on downtown Bellingham housing for homeless
The San Francisco Fire Department released a report Tuesday morning finding that a five-alarm fire that destroyed an apartment building under construction in the city's Mission Bay neighborhood last month was accidental.
The massive blaze was reported shortly before 5 p.m. on March 11 at the site at Fourth and China Basin streets, where a 172-unit building was under construction as part of the MB360 development project by BRE Properties.
There were no fire detectors installed yet in the unfinished six-story building, according to the report.
The building was expected to be ready to start leasing later this year. Another nearby site of the project with 188 units under construction was not affected by the blaze.
The building, which was under construction with building contractor Suffolk Construction Co., was completely destroyed after the fire spread from the top story.
According to the report, the fire was accidentally sparked on the sixth-floor roof area by a hot or smoldering object.
The fire originated in the southeast section of the building between the top floor and the roof, the report states.
According to the report, the fire caused $40 million in property damage at the $60 million construction site.
Additional contents in the building, valued at $100,000, were destroyed in the blaze.
Surrounding apartment buildings were also damaged in the fire and residents were evacuated overnight.

Fire department report calls 5-alarm Mission Bay fire accidental
Three Robeson County Sheriff cars idle in a dirt lot in front of the windowless Mountaire chicken processing plant and slaughterhouse about 80 miles southwest of Raleigh.
Semi-trucks full of live chickens barrel through the chain-link entrance and over the railroad tracks; trucks carrying empty cages exit the plant. Mountaire's Lumber Bridge plant employs 2,000 people, and supplies a variety of chicken breast products for companies like Subway, Lunchables and Buffalo Wild Wings, as well as international clients in Brazil and China.
The deputies look on as several carloads of yellow-clad black and Latino union employees and organizers park at the convenience store across the street and tromp across the road, chanting Everywhere we go / people want to know / who we are / where we come from / We are the union / the mighty mighty union.
The picketers, from United Food and Commercial Workers Local 1208, have arrived to protest Mountaire's alleged harassment and intimidation of pro-union workers within the poultry plant. They were leafleting at 4 in the morning. The fliers they pass out announce an upcoming information session in Fayetteville in English and Spanish: We know the company is trying to scare and confuse you. DON'T FALL FOR IT! Come & bring your questions on the 16th and find out the truth.
Drivers blare their horns and wave in support. Latino workers in a beat-up car stop to chat and ask questions before driving off. One woman in a hairnet and white scrubs walking across the street to get lunch at the convenience store gives a thumbs up, saying she plans to attend the session in Fayetteville.
Outside the Mountaire factory gates, I meet a woman named Delcia Rodriguez. A 23-year-old UFCW organizer from the Dominican Republic, Rodriguez worked at the Mountaire plant until 2011, when, she says, she was hit in the stomach by a large bucket used to haul meat and had a miscarriage in the plant. A doctor told her that she needed to take time off to rest. When she brought the doctor's note to Mountaire's Human Resources department, she says she was ordered to turn in her ID and fired.
"The supervisors treat the people, especially the non-English people, like animals," Rodriguez said. "They don't care if you get hurt."
Six months later, Rodriguez got a job at the unionized Smithfield plant. "I love the union. The union is the best thing that has happened in my life."
UFCW is the second-largest non-public sector union in the country, with 1.3 million members across various food-related industries: slaughterhouses, meat processing and grocery stores. UFCW Local 1208, based in Tar Heel, N.C., is legendary in the labor world for winning a grueling 17-year organizing campaign against Smithfield Foods in 2008. The 5,000-employee Smithfield pork slaughterhouse, located just outside of Tar Heel, N.C., is the largest pork-processing slaughterhouse in the world.
Keith Ludlum, UFCW Local 1208's president, is a Desert Storm veteran and native of eastern Carolina. He was fired from Smithfield for organizing in 1994; it took him 12 years in federal courts to get his job reinstated with back pay. "Anything they could use to fight the workers from forming a union, they did it. They violated the laws egregiously," Ludlum says. A union culture has become firmly entrenched in the Smithfield factory; that's why Local 1208 feels comfortable starting a campaign to unionize Mountaire, about 20 minutes away.
