A fire, which apparently started in a homeless encampment, spread to surrounding vegetation under I-680 at hwy.242 in Concord this morning.
Firefighters are on their way to the scene to extinguish the blaze.
UPDATE: The fire has been extinguished.

Jimminy! Sounds like the location of that large “legacy” camp across the creek from the Iron Horse Trail. Rode by yesterday. Maybe we should start passing out fire extinguishers to homeless camps?
The new normal in west coast cities, with no solution coming. When it gets cold, they light fires. If the fire gets out of control,they run like cockroaches
to the next camp. San Francisco, Oakland, Los Angeles, Portland and Seattle have no solution, just more drop-outs. It isn’t new, but remains unchecked.
Just get used to it, I suppose.
