Summary

  • Firefighters in Oakland responded to a fire involving a railway trestle and nearby vegetation on Wake Avenue. Additional resources were requested to prevent the fire from spreading further.

Timeline

Firefighters report a partial collapse of the trestle, with compromised support structures. Crews are advised to keep a safe distance.

Oakland Fire 2 · 0:08
All units, this is command on Oakland 2. Be advised that the trestle started to collapse.
Oakland Fire 2 · 0:24
Command, priority traffic, priority traffic, priority traffic. Edward, command. Yeah, command, Engine 2, priority traffic. We've had a bit of a collapse over on the backside of this, and several of these support structures are significantly compromised. Just make sure everybody knows not to get too close. I copy.3, give me one second.

Firefighters report progress in controlling the fire, with sufficient water supply currently available.

Oakland Fire 2 · 0:22
Engine 5, it's command. 10-4, 5. Yeah, Engine 15 and Engine 3 are both good on water currently at the stand. Fire's getting knocked. That engine that's sitting down at the original hydrant, I'm going to let you determine if you want them to try pumping it into that full air or not. I think we're getting pretty good.

Crews report progress in controlling the fire.

Oakland Fire 2 · 0:16
Sergeant. Yeah, I'm worried about that myself. I think right now we're doing okay. I mean, there's not a ton of fire out this room or in this front part. Yeah, I agree. We're getting a pretty good knock right now with all the lines out.

An additional unit is being requested to assist with the water supply.

Oakland Fire 2 · 0:30
Pumper 5, Engine 15. Go for Pumper 5. Yeah, be advised, we're already fully maxed out here just with the deck gun. Is there any way we can get some more pressure or are you maxed out as well? Engine 5, this is command. I requested a sixth engine. I'm going to have them stop at the furthest hydrant and pump under the floorway, see if we can get some more. Copy that. I'm not sure how well that'll work. I think we're on a dead-end line, so we'll be still in front.

Firefighters report no spread towards Wood Street, and the grass fire is under control.

Oakland Fire 2 · 0:26
Command, Engine 5. Go ahead. Yeah, there's no spread towards the Wood Street side. It's pretty light grass in this fight. The only way forward to really go would be to go towards Mary Farm. But that's against the land. Right now it looks good, and I'll be able to put that out. So right now there's no spread into the grass. Copy that, thank you.

Firefighters are addressing heavy brush near a fuel storage tank and coordinating hose line extensions.

Oakland Fire 2 · 0:31
and it's some heavier brush, and I think it's a fuel storage tank. Copy, break. Engine 5, do you have the personnel available to go up to Engine 3 and stretch a hose line and extend it around the bottom side, the Wood Street side of the structure? We'll go and take a look. I don't know if 3 can do another hose line. They got two rams out right now. Copy. If that's the case, we can end up shutting down one of those rams. I'd rather have one hose line on the other side to take it out on the one... Reg.

Crews are extending hoses around the trestle to address the fire spreading through nearby vegetation.

Oakland Fire 2 · 0:30
Pumper 3, this is command. Is your original line stretched all the way to the end of this trestle? Affirmative, but we got a fire that was getting aligned at the rear here. It's creeping through the wild land and perching through the snakes. We can go around the front where our 200 is and we'll company to start even a hoseway to check this wild land. It's a little hard to read, but you said you want to stretch a hoseway around the end of the trestle and go around the other side? Is that correct? Yeah, the short side nearest Pumper 3. Yeah, sir.

Firefighters are coordinating to move equipment and set up additional resources to manage the fire effectively inside the municipal building area.

Oakland Fire 2 · 0:28
Pumper 3, Engine 15. Go ahead. Yeah, we're going to try to stretch a lead inside of East Bay Med Facility. Give us a few minutes, but we're going to need you to shut down your 4-inch and 3-inch so that we can safely move our engine over it. Copy that, and if anyone has enough personnel, I'd recommend setting up the RAM over here. Engine command, are you able to help with your personnel setting up a RAM off of 3?

Crews are now handling multiple spot fires inside the building's area.

Oakland Fire 2 · 0:30
Copy for command. Yeah, command, it's engine 2. I see an engine company inside the East Bay Mudd. Do you have a lead in there, or should we drag this lead inside the East Bay Mudd facility? Why don't you drag it inside there? That's engine 1 in here with me. We've got a couple of spot fires going. We're going to need to grab a lot of spots. Yeah, get in there, and then I'll have you stay connected to it. Pull up just past my chief's point. Copy, that's going to be engine 5 finishing off our lead. I just walked down to check it out. All right.

Firefighters have identified a spot fire on the East Bay Municipal Building side of the fence.

Engine 1, if you're coming into the East Bay Mud Facility right now, that's the only engine I want inside the gates of East Bay Mud. The other units, Engine 5, Engine 15, and Engine 2, go ahead and extend the LVH and then go assist Engine 3 up there where the trap was, please.
Oakland Fire 2 · 0:30
I'll extend off of it. This hydrant that's up here is already taken by 3-inch. I see. This is Engine 1. Do you want us to follow you back into that structure that you're at now? Affirmative. Engine 2 copies. We're dropping an LDH. Might need somebody to finish it off. Affirmative. Engine 5 or Engine 15, whoever's next, make sure you extend Engine 2's LDH and get it up here to the fire, please. Engine 5 copies. We're entering the lot now. Engine 3 is...

Copy, break. Command, we're going to need an LDH brought in to us, and be advised, we have three-inch laid down in the road, which might be an obstruction, which might need to be moved out of the way. Yeah, copy. I'm going to go back and look at it, see if we can find another hydrant. Battalion 2, this is Engine 5. We don't have access from this side. There's K-rails up on the train track, so we can't access the other side of the truck. 3-3, from 3, I need more pressure on this...

Additional units have arrived to assist.

Go to Oakland 2, I'll get you two additional engines in the Chief. Pumper 1, V-Lock 1, you're ready for water? Correction. Pumper 3, V-Lock 3, you're ready for water? Affirmative.

Oakland Fire 2 · 0:24
Command, priority traffic, priority traffic, priority traffic. Edward, command. Yeah, command, Engine 2, priority traffic. We've had a bit of a collapse over on the backside of this, and several of these support structures are significantly compromised. Just make sure everybody knows not to get too close. I copy.3, give me one second.

Firefighters report progress in controlling the fire, with sufficient water supply currently available.

Oakland Fire 2 · 0:22
Engine 5, it's command. 10-4, 5. Yeah, Engine 15 and Engine 3 are both good on water currently at the stand. Fire's getting knocked. That engine that's sitting down at the original hydrant, I'm going to let you determine if you want them to try pumping it into that full air or not. I think we're getting pretty good.

Crews report progress in controlling the fire.

Oakland Fire 2 · 0:16
Sergeant. Yeah, I'm worried about that myself. I think right now we're doing okay. I mean, there's not a ton of fire out this room or in this front part. Yeah, I agree. We're getting a pretty good knock right now with all the lines out.

An additional unit is being requested to assist with the water supply.

Oakland Fire 2 · 0:30
Pumper 5, Engine 15. Go for Pumper 5. Yeah, be advised, we're already fully maxed out here just with the deck gun. Is there any way we can get some more pressure or are you maxed out as well? Engine 5, this is command. I requested a sixth engine. I'm going to have them stop at the furthest hydrant and pump under the floorway, see if we can get some more. Copy that. I'm not sure how well that'll work. I think we're on a dead-end line, so we'll be still in front.

Firefighters report no spread towards Wood Street, and the grass fire is under control.

Oakland Fire 2 · 0:26
Command, Engine 5. Go ahead. Yeah, there's no spread towards the Wood Street side. It's pretty light grass in this fight. The only way forward to really go would be to go towards Mary Farm. But that's against the land. Right now it looks good, and I'll be able to put that out. So right now there's no spread into the grass. Copy that, thank you.

Firefighters are addressing heavy brush near a fuel storage tank and coordinating hose line extensions.

Oakland Fire 2 · 0:31
and it's some heavier brush, and I think it's a fuel storage tank. Copy, break. Engine 5, do you have the personnel available to go up to Engine 3 and stretch a hose line and extend it around the bottom side, the Wood Street side of the structure? We'll go and take a look. I don't know if 3 can do another hose line. They got two rams out right now. Copy. If that's the case, we can end up shutting down one of those rams. I'd rather have one hose line on the other side to take it out on the one... Reg.

Crews are extending hoses around the trestle to address the fire spreading through nearby vegetation.

Oakland Fire 2 · 0:30
Pumper 3, this is command. Is your original line stretched all the way to the end of this trestle? Affirmative, but we got a fire that was getting aligned at the rear here. It's creeping through the wild land and perching through the snakes. We can go around the front where our 200 is and we'll company to start even a hoseway to check this wild land. It's a little hard to read, but you said you want to stretch a hoseway around the end of the trestle and go around the other side? Is that correct? Yeah, the short side nearest Pumper 3. Yeah, sir.

Firefighters are coordinating to move equipment and set up additional resources to manage the fire effectively inside the municipal building area.

Oakland Fire 2 · 0:28
Pumper 3, Engine 15. Go ahead. Yeah, we're going to try to stretch a lead inside of East Bay Med Facility. Give us a few minutes, but we're going to need you to shut down your 4-inch and 3-inch so that we can safely move our engine over it. Copy that, and if anyone has enough personnel, I'd recommend setting up the RAM over here. Engine command, are you able to help with your personnel setting up a RAM off of 3?

Crews are now handling multiple spot fires inside the building's area.

Oakland Fire 2 · 0:30
Copy for command. Yeah, command, it's engine 2. I see an engine company inside the East Bay Mudd. Do you have a lead in there, or should we drag this lead inside the East Bay Mudd facility? Why don't you drag it inside there? That's engine 1 in here with me. We've got a couple of spot fires going. We're going to need to grab a lot of spots. Yeah, get in there, and then I'll have you stay connected to it. Pull up just past my chief's point. Copy, that's going to be engine 5 finishing off our lead. I just walked down to check it out. All right.

injecting that LVH back to the same hydrant. Could you go to help? Copy. Engine 1, if you're coming into the East Bay Mud Facility right now, that's the only engine I want inside the gates of East Bay Mud. The other units, Engine 5, Engine 15, and Engine 2, go ahead and extend the LVH and then go assist Engine 3 up there where the trap was, please.
Oakland Fire 2 · 0:30
I'll extend off of it. This hydrant that's up here is already taken by 3-inch. I see. This is Engine 1. Do you want us to follow you back into that structure that you're at now? Affirmative. Engine 2 copies. We're dropping an LDH. Might need somebody to finish it off. Affirmative. Engine 5 or Engine 15, whoever's next, make sure you extend Engine 2's LDH and get it up here to the fire, please. Engine 5 copies. We're entering the lot now. Engine 3 is...

The fire is threatening a nearby building, and crews are working to prevent the fire from spreading further.

Oakland Fire 2 · 0:17
Go ahead. As soon as we get more water, I can get some more pressure. 12-2. Engine 3, this is command. I see your engine and its placement. I'm not sure where your hand line is, but if you could make sure that you get on the side also to try and protect the East Bay Mud Exposure Building.

Copy, break. Command, we're going to need an LDH brought in to us, and be advised, we have three-inch laid down in the road, which might be an obstruction, which might need to be moved out of the way. Yeah, copy. I'm going to go back and look at it, see if we can find another hydrant. Battalion 2, this is Engine 5. We don't have access from this side. There's K-rails up on the train track, so we can't access the other side of the truck. 3-3, from 3, I need more pressure on this...
