Firefighters are battling a 4-alarm fire on Pier 45 in San Francisco
(CNN)More than 150 firefighters are battling a four-alarm warehouse fire Saturday on Pier 45, the city's fire department says.
A quarter of the pier at Fisherman's Wharf "has been lost to the flames," according to Lt. Jonathan Baxter, a public information officer with the San Francisco Fire Department. The warehouse was destroyed.
One firefighter had a severe cut to his hand and was being treated at a local hospital, Baxter says. He is expected to recover. No other injuries were reported.
The pier was fully evacuated, as were some nearby businesses, the fire department says.
Flames could be seen in the early morning darkness in photos tweeted by Dan Whaley.
The blaze was first reported at 4:17 a.m. local time (7:17 a.m. ET) and was contained to a section of the pier.
