SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 29 (Xinhua) -- One person was killed and another wounded in a house fire in San Francisco, a major tourist city in the U.S. state of California on Sunday, San Francisco fire officials tweeted.
The San Francisco fire department said on its official Twitter account that the one-alarm fire has been contained and that the victim who suffered minor injuries is not life-threatening and now in stable condition.
One more person was displaced due to the fire, it added.
No further information was disclosed immediately, and the the cause of the fire remains under investigation, the fire department said.
San Francisco residents have recently been advised to stay alert against possible fires in current warm and low-humidity weather conditions since wildfires that started on Oct. 8 and ravaged through several counties in northern California caused the most lethal and destructive fire disaster in the state history.
The wildfires killed 42 people, destroyed nearly 9,000 homes and business structures, and forced 100,000 people to evacuate in northern California, according to the state's forest and fire prevention department.
