3-Story Structure Fire Burning In Nearby Redwood City

REDWOOD CITY, CA – A three-alarm fire is burning a three-story structure this afternoon in Redwood City, fire officials said on Twitter.

The fire was reported on Twitter at 2:44 p.m. at 651 Vista Drive.

Crews from Menlo park and Woodside are assisting, officials said.

As of approximately 4 p.m., San Mateo officials reported that Vista Drive is closed between Oak Knoll Drive and Oakview Way in the unincorporated area of Redwood City as emergency Crews battle the fire.
