Checking on the aftermath of the fire in the Juneau Street Market building on the southwest corner of California/Juneau (map), covered here as it unfolded late last night/early this morning (here’s our report, with video) — Both the market and neighboring Ho-Win Restaurant are locked up, with no notes on the door when we checked. We did meet one of the residents who escaped the fire in the apartment over the store. He says they’re OK and staying in a hotel. As for the fire’s cause, Fire Department spokesperson Helen Fitzpatrick just told us it’s been determined the fire was accidental, sparked by an “overheated extension cord.” Damage is estimated at $300,000, and confined to the second story of the building
