July 4 was one of the busiest days of the year for Bay Area firefighters. They worked to contain several fires that broke out due to illegal fireworks.
A grass fire in Brentwood was just one blaze likely caused by fireworks. It started just before 8 p.m. Monday near the Port Chicago Highway and burned about six acres before it was under control.
In San Francisco's Twin Peaks neighborhood, crews worked to contain a fire. It was reported just before 5 p.m. Monday near Panorama Drive and Twin Peaks Boulevard.Fire crews also responded to McLaren Park in the city's Visitacion Valley neighborhood.Even though the Bay Area had a weekend dose of drizzle, cloud cover, and lower temperatures, fire danger remains high.
"This 4th of July is as dry as any 4th of July we've ever had, if not dryer," said Capt. Jordan Motta with Cal Fire in San Mateo.BREAKING NEWS
