Very sad news today. An 85-year-old woman was killed last night in a house fire that also injured her family in the city's Visitacion Valley neighborhood. The Medical Examiner's Office this morning identified the deceased woman as Jane Thompson, a San Francisco resident.
The blaze broke out just before 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday at Castillo Street near Geneva Avenue. Thompson died at the scene and five others were taken to a nearby hospital; two are in critical condition and three suffered minor injuries, according to KTVU.
Thompson's grandson, Joe, reportedly escaped the flames by jumping from a second-story window, according to the Chron.
The cause of the fire is still unknown.
