Also on Sunday, firefighters gained the upper hand on the Corral Fire, located just over the Alameda County line in San Joaquin County. The area blackened held steady at 14,168 acres, while containment grew to 50%, according to Cal Fire.

People from three separate residences were displaced in San Jose after fires ripped through their homes, authorities said. The entirety of the three fires required a four-alarm response.

A man set fire to a patch of dry grass on the UC Berkeley library lawn, authorities said. The incident is still under investigation.

Plus, Rubio's has closed 48 underperforming locations across the state. The chain is among California fast food restaurants affected by an increase in minimum wage costs, which took effect this year.
