The San Francisco Fire Department and San Francisco police officers responded to the scene and cordoned off the area. Their main concern was the possibility of the broken window moving out of place and potentially injuring a driver or pedestrian with falling debris.
The exact cause of how the window broke remains unclear; however, the fire department has determined that weather was not a contributing factor.
The San Francisco Department of Building Inspection also arrived at the scene to address the cracked window.
