The Alum Rock area had an evacuation of a subdivision, and the fire destroyed one home and damaged others. In Contra Costa County 100 acres burned at Willow Pass Road and Highway Four. These conditions made many apprehensive and fearful. The Hills of Oakland have had very little rain and the grounds are dry. This condition makes the trees easy fodder for fires, along with the fanning winds.
Some fires remain, but in Oakland, where most fear is, the fires have been put out.
