I just found photos of what looks like it could be breaking news as a fire broke out in San Francisco. Is anyone on the scene? It appears to be happening at Taylors down near the Ferry Building.

I am looking for a report now.

The photographs are in, but now we need a story.  This is a great example of NowPublic at work, when news happens you can be the first to break it.  People on the ground have the advantage of capturing content, reporting what they see, and then sharing it with the public. 

Thank you bkusler for the contribution...

I was heading to MarketBar and right when I sat down outside, I saw a large plume of white smoke emerging in the sky from the western half of the building.  Then a couple minutes later came a huge plume of dark brown smoke that was more ground-level.  The smoke lingered in the air for several minutes.  Everyone in the building (restaurant included) had to be evacuated.  Don't know anything more than that and I haven't seen anything about it on local news sites either.
