Those of us who live in the SF Bay Area never like to hear there is a fire in the Oakland Hills. Especially this time of year with dry brush and dry hot winds.
The last time this happened was in 1991 where 25 people died, 150 people were injured and roughly over 3500 homes & apts were destroyed.
A fire started a little over an hour ago in the Oakland Hills. It started in an empty space surrounded by homes. I mean surrounded.
The local TV station has been covering it live from their helicopter.
Kudos to the firefighters and how quickly they have moved to knock this fire down. And the to skill shown by the helicopter pilots as they go to a nearby lake and scoop up water to dump on the fire.
It ilooks like they may have the fire under control with just a few hot spots. Good job by them.
