A fast-moving fire, fueled by strong winds, damaged at least seven homes in Oakland’s hillside neighborhood on Friday, prompting the evacuation of over 500 residents, according to officials. The blaze, which broke out around 1:30 p.m. near Interstate 580, quickly spread as gusts reached up to 40 mph. Fire crews battled the inferno for several hours before containing it by 4 p.m. Though no injuries were reported, at least one home was completely destroyed. The fire charred 13 acres and caused significant traffic disruption, with smoke visible miles away. Red flag warnings remain in effect across Northern California, with additional power shutoffs and heightened fire risks anticipated due to the “diablo winds.” The cause of the fire is still under investigation.
