According to the San Francisco Fire Department, firefighters have responded to six fires in Buena Vista Park since Aug. 13 and officials believe the cause of the fires may be arson.
Residents near the Haight Ashbury said the series of fires make them nervous. “This is not a small fire,” said one neighbor. “It’s crazy. There’s tons of people in the park, and animals and all the homes nearby. Scary.”
