text: SAN FRANCISCO (CBS SF) — The San Francisco home made famous in the 1993 movie “Mrs. Doubtfire” was apparently the target of a suspicious fire on Monday night. 
   
   Authorities were called to the home on Broadway and Steiner Street around 8 p.m. after someone reportedly tried to set fire to the home’s garage door and front door. An accelerant, such as gasoline, was possibly used. 
   
   Police remained on the scene until shortly past 11:00 p.m. Monday. No suspects have been identified. 
   
   The home, which was the setting for the film starring Robin Williams, regained notoriety last August after the actor and comedian’s death. The front of the home became a memorial to Williams, as fans dropped off flowers and placed notes. 
   
   Dr. Douglas Ousterhout, a plastic surgeon, currently owns the home. 
   
   The doctor told police that he is having problems with a former client, but is not sure who is responsible for the fire. ||||| An arsonist targeted a San Francisco home used in the comedy blockbuster "Mrs. Doubtfire," police said early Tuesday. Officials launched an investigation after the iconic Pacific Heights residence had its doormat set ablaze at 8 p.m. local time (11 p.m. ET) on Monday night, a San Francisco Police official told NBC News. The home was used in the filming of the 1993 movie starring actor Robin Williams, who took his own life in August last year. 
   
   The home is now owned by a doctor who has been a pioneer in facial feminization surgeries. However, a police department official said the incident did not appear to be a hate crime.

target: – The home used in the Robin Williams movie Mrs. Doubtfire had a close call with an arsonist last night, say police in San Francisco. Someone used gasoline to set fires at the front door and the garage, but the homeowner smelled smoke and was able to quickly douse the flames, reports the San Francisco Chronicle. Damage was said to be minimal. The Pacific Heights home not only became famous in the movie, it turned into an impromptu memorial for Williams after his death, as fans left flowers and mementos, notes CBS Local. Investigators don't seem to think the attempted arson has anything to do with Williams or the movie, however. The current owner is Douglas Ousterhout, a surgeon renowned for his facial feminization procedures for transgender patients. A police official tells NBC News that the incident doesn't appear to be a hate crime. Ousterhout reportedly has had trouble with a former client, and police are investigating whether there's a link.
