At 11:58 today there was a Vegetation Fire in the area of Bixler Road and Balfour Road. East Contra Costa Fire Engine 359 (Disco Bay) arrived on scene and found two separate fires burning. A full wild land response was requested. E494 (Knightsen), E352 (Brentwood), WaterTender 58 (Disco Bay), WT 94 (Knightsen), E388 (ConFire Antioch), E395 (Bethel Island) Battalion Chief 5 were dispatched.
One fire was burning along a strip of the road anout 200 feet long while the other fire (in the 8000 black of Balfour) was one and a half acres threatening a structure. In all that fire grew to 3 acres but the structure was saved. Crews remained on scene until about 14:00 hours mopping up hot spots.
A big thank you to our local fire fighters.
