A fire erupted at a scrap yard in San Leandro on a Thursday afternoon, according to officials from the fire department. As news of the incident spread, it brought to mind similar tragedies that have occurred recently, such as the fire that displaced 13 people in East Oakland and the one that affected 10 residents of a multi-unit residential building in San Jose. It also brought to light the efforts of the County Fire department to improve their services, as they unveiled a larger station in the Santa Cruz Mountains.
The fire at the scrap yard, situated at the intersection of Davis Street and Doolittle Drive, was first reported just before 4 p.m. Firefighters were quickly dispatched and upon arrival, they were met with a daunting sight - thick smoke and raging flames. Cheryl Hurd, a spokesperson for the Alameda County Fire Department, described the scene as chaotic.
Despite the challenges, the firefighters worked tirelessly and by 4:45 p.m., they had the situation under control, although the fire was not completely extinguished. The team used a truck ladder to pour water onto the blaze, a technique commonly used to fight fires that are difficult to access. Thankfully, no one was harmed in the incident.
The cause of the fire is still unknown and is currently under investigation, according to Hurd. As of now, there are no updates, but we will continue to keep you informed as the story unfolds. Let us all hope for a positive outcome and that this unfortunate event serves as a reminder to always prioritize safety.
