The Livermore Pleasanton Fire Department responded to a garage fire Friday afternoon near downtown Pleasanton, which shut down First Street for a couple of hours, emergency personnel said. It has since been reopened.
“There was a detached garage fire on First Street in Pleasanton. It has been extinguished,” LPFD Chief Joe Testa told the Weekly via email.
LPFD spokesperson Rosa Ramos provided additional details, saying firefighters were dispatched around 3:21 p.m. to a residential fire near First Street and Spring Street in Pleasanton. Upon arrival, Ramos said firefighters discovered a vehicle had caught on fire and caused the garage to catch fire as well.
However, Ramos said the garage was detached, which prevented the blaze from spreading into the home. She said it took firefighters five to 10 minutes to put out the fire and that there were no injuries or fatalities.
As of time of publication, Ramos said LPFD does not suspect any foul play regarding the cause of the fire but added that they still don’t know what caused it.
“We didn’t see anything suspicious on the scene,” Ramos said.
She said the Pleasanton Police Department is still on the scene investigating.
PPD sent out an advisory shortly after 5 p.m. Friday to let residents know it has reopened First Street after it had been closed to traffic as a result of the fire.
