Description

The charred remnants of a contiguous cluster of at least 3 encampment shacks/tents that caught fire and spectacularly burned to the ground (with flames shooting up 20 feet high, reaching the power line above) at 1 AM on Fri 1/19/2018 occupy a 50' x 18' swath of public sidewalk and parking lane on the south side of 28th Street, across from 91 homes. We are lucky that it rained last night - if this had occurred during the recent hot windy period, burning embers could have resulted in a West Oakland urban wildfire in parallel with the Napa/Sonoma fire. Who knows what potential toxic by-products remain here? The City must immediately protect public safety and clean up this health hazard. See attached 1/19/2018 photo.
