A two-alarm fire has been knocked down Wednesday afternoon at a condominium complex in Concord, according to the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District.
The fire was reported at about 1:20 p.m. at 1740 Sapling Court, located near Concord High School.
Fire district spokesperson Lauren Ono said as of 2 p.m. that the fire had been put out but did not have any other details.
Thank you for the report. I was walking my dog at Cowell Park at that time and knew from the amount of sirens going by that something not good was happening.
Two alarm?
This was less than a 6 houses distance from my home.
There were at least 12 fire trucks, with multiple other fire department and breathing support vehicles on scene. I can’t believe this is all they are reporting, typical for today’s fake media.
I hear that, I thought it was worded weird with “fire knocked down”…fires are extingushed, put out or fires have burned this building… but knocked down! Fires don’t knock anything!
Actually “knock down” is a common term used by firefighters
Yes, it was a two alarm structure fire.
First alarm would have been like 4 fire engines, two fire trucks (big ladder on top), two bat chiefs and a safety officer.
As the fire spread and they had challenges with securing a permanent water supply the IC requested a second alarm.
Depending on the dept a second alarm can mimic the first alarm. Four more engines, two more trucks,
more chiefs and a breathing support.
Thank you for the detailed explanation.
Duck.
These condos were built in the late 1970s/early 1980s so try that again Never Lived in Lomarinda Larry.

Which is it, are you for or against high-density housing? On Sunday, you posted the following about the area of Mt. Diablo Boulevard and Moraga Way in Lafayette, “Hopefully the block gets rezoned for condos. Too many empty store fronts and not enough residential units make downtown feel blighted.” Are you the “progressive high-density socialist” or the conservative anti-high-density capitalist?
