A fire in the Oakland Hills Tuesday afternoon left a home with significant damage, the Fire Department said. In a social media post, the department said the two-alarm fire burned a home on Skyline Boulevard just north of Hansom Drive and about a half mile south of Fire Station 21. The fire started in the garage of the home, listed on Redfin as a 3,022 square-foot estate, and spread to the main house, but firefighters were able to contain it to just the one house, the post said. Update 1) Fire crews have contained this 2 alarm incident in the 13000 block of Skyline to the structure of origin but this is still an active fire incident. Traffic should avoid Skyline Blvd b/w Parkridge Dr and Keller Rd. No reports of injuries at this time. — Oakland Fire Department (CA) (@OaklandFireCA) June 3, 2025 Video shot from above the home showed the fire gutted the garage area. Firefighters were atop the main house, cutting holes in the roof to let out smoke and heat. Some three dozen firefighters responded to the fire. There were no reported injuries, and the cause of the fire was not immediately known. Traffic along Skyline Boulevard between Parkridge Drive and Keller Road was affected during the firefight and mop-up efforts.

Generate Key Takeaways The Brief Shooting causes bullet to pierce pipes at East Oakland school cafeteria, causing flooding Oakland firefighters noticed the torrent of water and averted further damage No one was injured in the shooting OAKLAND, Calif. - Water cascaded down the side of the cafeteria at Lockwood Steam Academy in East Oakland early Wednesday after a bullet from a nearby shooting ended up in a pipe, officials said. "One of those bullets entered our building, the cafeteria here, and it pierced a pipe and caused a flood," said John Sasaki, spokesman for the Oakland Unified School District. The cafeteria had recently been remodeled, but Sasaki said the damage was limited, thanks to firefighters who noticed the flowing water. "That really - no question - saved us from further damage, so we want to thank the Oakland Fire Department for being really Johnny-on-the-spot for us there and making sure that this is taken care of," Sasaki said. Bullet from shooting block away What we know It all happened at about 4:45 a.m. as Oakland police responded to ShotSpotter reports of gunfire near 70th Avenue and Herbert Guice Way. Officers scoured the scene for evidence, and numerous yellow markers littered the intersection. KTVU cameras spotted a Toyota Prius that had been hit by gunfire outside Bethel Baptist Church at 69th Avenue and Herbert Guice, which sits directly across the street from the elementary school's cafeteria. Officers also inspected the car for evidence. Police said no one was hit by the gunfire. Alternate plans for students' food What they're saying As the sun rose, school officials confirmed the pipe that was hit was in the attached kitchen. That meant district officials had to scramble to make sure students had fresh food for the day. "We had to be very quick, very nimble and changing our plans," Sasaki said. The district's nutrition services staff made sure students had bag lunches delivered to the campus. Those picking up children at the end of the day had a range of emotions. "As long as they were safe and nothing actually happened, I mean I would have liked to hear about it, but it's a lot of kids, and they can't call to every parent," said Lashawnda Carter. Sabrina Stokes said, "I feel good, but just hopefully that they find out what was really going down, why the bullets came this way over to the school." Henry Lee is a KTVU crime reporter.
