Firefighters said it appeared to have started at an electrical panel.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Box-_wrDxHtU__Box-sc-10sa3ie-0 Text-nO2aZ44r__TextBase-sc-s2hv5x-0 jJNfBD fSvavs article-text\">Residents reported hearing popping sounds before flames were spotted, according to SAFD.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Box-_wrDxHtU__Box-sc-10sa3ie-0 Text-nO2aZ44r__TextBase-sc-s2hv5x-0 jJNfBD fSvavs article-text\">Firefighters said the fire damage was not extensive, but the electrical damage created a bigger problem for people living in the building.
