The public was asked to avoid the area of Hayes and Divisadero streets early Sunday as crews worked to put out the fire.
An investigation into what caused the blaze is taking place, which officials said is normal due to the size of the incident.
Sunday's fire occurred a little more than a week after an apartment fire in the Mission displaced 22 people.
