Overview
- Fire crews responded in the early hours to a large structure fire on the 2300 block of Rainbow Court at Alameda Point, with sources reporting the blaze on Thursday morning.
- Firefighters worked to knock down the flames and city officials reported no injuries, though crews remained on site for hours to manage hot spots and scene safety.
- The burning building is a vacant, multistory warehouse that is part of the former Alameda Naval Air Station redevelopment area.
