At least two injured in two-alarm fire in SF's Bayview District

Firefighters raced to a two-alarm house fire in San Francisco's Bayview District early Saturday evening where at least two people were sent to the hospital.

Dispatchers received the call at 6:30 p.m. and arrived at the home on Lucy Street to discover heavy flames, at least two burn victims and power lines down in the street.

"I looked out the window and I saw flames going everywhere," said witness Justice Mickels.

As flames poured out of the bottom floor of the home, it became clear some people were still inside.

"I heard some screaming and when I came out, I see somebody running across the street," said neighbor Willie Dickens.

Neighbors said one man was burned trying to save others in the home.

Witnesses told KTVU 12 people were inside, some of them out-of-town family members attending a party

"We conducted searches of the building, transported two people immediately and just transported a third complaining of smoke inhalation," said the SFFD’s Tom Siragusa.

Firefighters were still investigating the possible cause, but neighbors said someone had been working on a car in the home's garage about 30 minutes before the fire started.

Some live power lines down that came down near the burning home made things even more dangerous for everyone at the scene.

Firefighters said and there was still no word on the condition of the people burned, but neighbors said one victim's injuries appeared to be severe.

Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg marries sweetheart

Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg updated his status to "married" on Saturday.

Zuckerberg and 27-year-old Priscilla Chan tied the knot at a small ceremony at his Palo Alto, Calif., home, capping a busy week for the couple, according to a guest authorized to speak for the couple. The person spoke only on the condition of anonymity.

Zuckerberg took his company public in one of the most anticipated stock offerings in Wall Street history Friday. And Chan graduated from medical school at the University of California, San Francisco, on Monday, the same day Zuckerberg turned 28, the person said.

The couple met at Harvard and have been together for more than nine years, the person said.

Zuckerberg designed the ring featuring "a very simple ruby," according to the person.

The ceremony took place in Zuckerberg's backyard before fewer than 100 guests, including Facebook's chief operating officer Sheryl Sandberg.

The guests all thought they were coming to celebrate Chan's graduation but were told after they arrived that the event was in fact a wedding.

"Everybody was shocked," the guest said.

Rather than his trademark hoodie, Zuckerberg wore a suit for the ceremony, while his bride wore a traditional wedding dress.

Food was served family-style and included dishes from the couple's favorite Palo Alto sushi restaurant. The two had been planning the marriage for months but were waiting until Chan had graduated to hold the wedding, the guest said.

The timing wasn't tied to the IPO, since the date the company planned to go public was a "moving target," the guest said.

Even after the IPO, Zuckerberg remains Facebook's single largest shareholder, with 503.6 million shares. And he controls the company with 56 percent of its voting stock.

The site, which was born in a dorm room eight years ago, has grown into a worldwide network of almost a billion people.

Zuckerberg founded Facebook at Harvard in 2004.

He was selected as Time's Person of the Year in 2010, at age 26.

Zuckerberg grew up in Dobbs Ferry, N.Y.
