Fire in Arroyo Mocho Creek Extinguished

Livermore, CA — Fire crews remain in the area of Holmes and Aaron streets conducting fire watch procedures after knocking down a brush fire reported in the Arroyo Mocho Creek Monday afternoon.

Livermore-Pleasanton Fire Battalion Chief Aaron Lacey says Holmes Street was partially closed for about an hour due to limited visibility caused by smoke from the rapidly spreading blaze, which was reported just before 3 p.m.

"It took firefighters approximately 45 minutes to contain the fire," Lacey said. "The fire is under investigation, but is believed to have started on property near the creek."

Alameda County Fire crews assisted with the firefighting efforts. No one was injured and no structures were damaged during the blaze.

A second brush fire was reported on westbound I-580 in Livermore Monday afternoon. That fire was reported in the area of Greenville and I-580 at 2:28 p.m., according to the Pulsepoint phone application. No other details were available.
