Panoramic Fire Burns Near Berkeley Hills, Threatens One Structure

Local emergency agencies are assessing the small blaze for containment, with evacuation decisions to follow.

Overview

  • A wildfire called the Panoramic Fire is burning near the Berkeley and Oakland Hills in Alameda County and is being tracked by local responders.
  • Initial reports put the size at roughly a quarter of an acre and said one structure was reportedly threatened.
  • No evacuation warnings had been issued in early reporting, and news coverage included maps and real-time evacuation-status updates for residents.
  • Information remains limited and developing, so official updates from Alameda County fire agencies are the best source for confirmed acreage, containment and damage reports.
  • Because the fire is in an urban-wildland interface area, officials and residents should watch for changes in wind or containment that could quickly raise risk to nearby homes.
