A huge fire that tore through a warehouse on San Francisco’s Fisherman’s Wharf has destroyed fishing gear used to deliver about two-thirds of the city’s fresh seafood.

Larry Collins, who runs the San Francisco Community Fishing Association, estimates that thousands of crab, shrimp and black cod traps worth up to $5 million were lost in the blaze.

With the Dungeness crab season expected to begin in mid-November, crab boat owners were racing to raise $1 million to buy new gear.

Fire officials said no injuries have been reported Saturday morning and investigators were trying to determine whether homeless people were inside.

The fire tore through the warehouse, sending thick smoke over the waterfront and causing its walls to collapse.

At one point, it threatened to spread to a historic World War II-era ship that docks by Pier 45, but officials said firefighters successfully saved the vessel.

The cause of the fire is under investigation.
