All 4th Alarm resources were dispatched this evening around 2025 hours from the IC to their Fire Dispatch Center because of their need for additional members and fire equipment for the commercial structure fire.

The fire is burning in the block of 700 High Street in Oakland, California on Sunday, May 26, 2024.

(L) The fire is clearly breaching all floors of the two-story building and burning really close to the railroad tracks just on the other side of the structure.

Fire Officials warn residents to keep their windows and doors closed to prevent smoke from entering their homes, vehicles, and other locations. Rail traffic has been stopped in both directions.

Over 75 firefighters are now on the scene working on intensifying their egress efforts to knock down this stubborn fire said to be at the Economy Lumberyard.
