The fire department's media unit wrote on X that the isolated fire was attributed to a refrigerator and that there was never any threat to the public. The fire was quickly extinguished and was determined to be accidental.

The response caused traffic delays at about 1:45 p.m. around the mall, which is located at 3251 20th Ave., just north of San Francisco State University.

The 600,000 square-foot, two-level enclosed mall is owned by Brookfield Properties and has more than 90 businesses, according to the company's website. A mall spokesperson did not immediately respond to an email requesting comment.
