OAKLAND \u2014 A man who may have been sleeping outside an East Oakland fire station was injured Monday evening when he was struck by a fire department vehicle responding to a structure blaze, authorities said.<\/p>\n

The man, believed to be in his 30s and unhoused, was initially listed in critical condition but was later upgraded to stable, authorities said.<\/p>\n

The collision happened about 6:24 p.m. Monday in the driveway outside Fire Station 20 at 1401 98th Ave.<\/p>\n

According to initial reports, the man apparently had been laying on the ground against a large roll-up garage door to the station.<\/p>\n

A firefighter about to respond to a structure fire got into a department crew cab pickup truck, opened the roll-up door, activated the vehicle\u2019s siren and emergency lights and started driving outside, authorities said. The firefighter apparently did not see the man before striking him.<\/p>\n

Firefighters provided first aid to the man before he was taken to a hospital.<\/p>\n

Anyone with information about the collision may call police traffic investigators at 510-777-8570.<\/p>\n
