- At 5:30 pm Tuesday, the East Contra Costa Fire Protection District responded to a report of a vegetation fire on Knightsen Avenue at Willow Oak Pl in the Town of Knightsen.
While responding, it was reported that the vegetation fire moved quickly towards a home and caught the house on fire which extended to the attic. By the time units got on scene, this became a working structure fire which then caught a ½ acre of vegetation fire across the street also on fire.
Responding along with East Contra Costa Fire was Contra Costa County Fire Protection District and CALFIRE along with AMR along with Oakley Police and CHP. One person was taken into custody for safety reasons and Oakley Police wanted to release the subject to family. He was taken into custody because he refused to leave his trailer which was near the fire.
According to Steve Aubert, Fire Marshal, one person was confirmed to be emergency evacuated from a residence while in total, one single family home sustained major damage and multiple outbuildings and vehicles. The fire started in the back of the property where a male had been doing some grinding work and caught the dry grass on fire.
No injuries were reported.
Aubert stated power lines did go down which made for a life safety hazard and it took PG&E around 1-hour to respond to cut power to the property. He said some of the challenges in the fire was the access to the property, limited water in the area which did not have a water supply, so they were running water tenders.
At least two people were displaced, which according to neighbors, the residents were in the process of moving and Monday was going to be their last day in the home and had moved all their items to the front room which caught fire.

Excellent Work Guys. It Just show's us all how quick things can change in a blink of an eye
Very good video. Thank you. Too bad for the people but doesn’t look like they were very safety conscious.
Great job on the video👍🏻
I wouldn't call that a major explosion lol
Great footage as usual!
Did PG&E ever give an explanation as to why it took them an hour to get there?
Nope... but will find out.
@@EastCountyToday Awesome! Thank you!
I could never be a firefighter or fire chief because, assuming everyone was safe, I'd tell all the guys to take it easy, sit back and enjoy watching everything burn to the ground. 🔥🔥🔥🍿🍿🍿
😂👌
Difference between armchair and trained professionals .
Like it video south west devon Katy leeson 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Do the helmet colors mean something?
Sad to see that poor Peterbilt on fire and everything else on fire
A tire blew not a major explosion
Okay this video pains me, the crew just stood around and let the cab of a historic Peterbilt tractor-trailer truck burn up???
Tragedy
That house is gone.
I was hoping there was a way to move those two campers out from there. That is definitely a major 🔥. The siding was melting off of it
Sad
A complete loss.
Bulldoze into a large pile and haul off debri.
Rebuild.
Doesn't anyone use a modified stream anymore???????? All straight stream just not as effective, my opinion, 15 yrs in the service!!!!
Straight/solid stream is where it's at. Fog patterns have their place, but for a very wide majority, straight stream or solid stream for the win. Seems that it worked out just fine for them. Nobody's really using narrow fogs anymore, everybody's kinda getting away from all that.
