Firefighters on Saturday put out another fire at an Oakland home that had burned just days before, according to Oakland Fire Department spokesperson Michael Hunt.
Oakland firefighters work on the roof in one of the two houses damaged by a three-alarm fire on 6th Avenue and 8th Street in Oakland, Calif., on Tuesday, May 7, 2024. The fire in the Eastlake district nearly destroyed a vacant home plagued by squatters and past fires and heavily damaged a second, occupied house, authorities said.
The home at East 8th Street and 6th Avenue in Oakland’s Eastlake District has a history of occupancy by squatters and had previously been red-tagged, and there had been several fires there in previous years, according to Hunt. A blaze that broke out at the homespread to a neighboring occupied home, which incurred extensive roof and side damage before a team of 60 firefighters got the fire under control, he said.
“It’s really frustrating for us to have a building have a major incident and have it burn again just days later,” he said.Miss Manners: She tried to ruin my wedding, and I don’t know what to say to her
