Sept. 22, 2022
Oakland firefighters are looking for the responsible person.

Oakland firefighters responded to a two-alarm grassfire along Interstate 580 Tuesday evening.

They are now trying to identify the person or people responsible for setting additional fires in the same area.

Fire officials say flares were found at some of the fires, according to KTVU.

A resident wonders if the fire on her property also was intentionally set. She also is upset that authorities have not cut brush in the area.
