Wildfire east of Livermore rages on Thursday morning, burning over 2,500 acres. But as weather conditions improved, the fire improved to a twenty-five percent containment level. The fire was headed south and southeast, away from Livermore and Tracy. The cause of the fire is under investigation.
The blaze was first reported at 10 p.m.in the vicinity of San Felipe Road and Heartland Avenue in the East San Jose foothills. Four fire teams are on scene.
Cal Fire authorities stated one framework continues to be dropped to date, although no accidents have now been documented.
One abandoned structure was lost. Temmermand says that winds should escalate.
The fire was reported just before 3 p.m. and apparently began just west of the summit of Tesla Road, near the point where it crosses the last spur of hills in the area and descends into Corral Hollow.
