Fire crews have made substantial progress containing the blaze in the Oakland hills, achieving a 15% containment by last night, despite challenging conditions.
The recent fire in the Oakland hills burned approximately 13 acres, leading to the destruction of two structures and necessitating evacuations along several streets.
The fire broke out just before 1:30 p.m. on Friday, coinciding with a red flag warning for severe fire conditions impacting the entire Bay Area.
This incident is reminiscent of the devastating 1991 Oakland Hills Fire, marking almost 33 years since the tragedy that claimed 25 lives and destroyed thousands of homes.
