A brush fire spread to one home in the Oakland Hills Tuesday before firefighters were able to stop its forward progress.
The Oakland Fire Department (OFD) said the approximately half-acre blaze broke out at about 11:45 a.m. along the 1000 block of Panoramic Way, located above the UC Berkeley campus. Forward progress was stopped by about 1:15 p.m.
Flames burned through vegetation on a hillside before spreading to the roof of a home along Panoramic Way, OFD spokesperson Michael Hunt said.
No evacuation orders were issued, but residents on Panoramic Way were asked to shelter in place.
Roughly 75 to 80 firefighters responded to the scene, Hunt said.
The cause of the fire wasn’t immediately known.
