Fireworks Spark Three Fires in Union City

The Alameda County Fire Department responded to three one-alarm fires in Union City throughout the Fourth of July evening. All are believed to be fireworks related, officials said.

According to spokeswoman Aisha Knowles, the roof of a home caught on fire a little before 8:30 p.m. on the 32200 block of Allison Drive, near Cabello Street.  A tree believed to be on fire from fireworks spread to a shingle on the roof of the home.

Later in the evening, fire crews responded to a structure fire at 2936 Flint St. at about 10:45 p.m. According to Knowles, a firework exploded on a gas main, which caused the fire and damaged a pool shed at an apartment building.

Fire crews also responded to a one-alarm vegetation fire Wednesday night in the Alameda Creek in the flood control channel in the area between Dowe Avenue and Beard Street.

No injuries were reported in any of the fires, Knowles said.
