On Monday, April 11, at 9:49 p.m., 18 firefighters from the Alameda Fire Department (AFD) responded to a house fire on the 400 block of Greenbrier Road. When they arrived on scene crewmembers saw smoke coming from a single-story home. They learned that the occupants had already been evacuated.  

Firefighters entered the home and discovered a back room on fire. Some crewmembers pulled pre-connected hose lines and quickly extinguished the blaze, while others used a power saw and tools on the roof to ventilate the home. 

The fire was confined to a rear room, which sustained heavy damage. The home sustained minor heat and smoke damage throughout. There were no reports of injuries. 

AFD investigators determined that the cause of the fire was electrical. Crews from Alameda Municipal Power and Pacific Gas & Electric Co. (PG&E) also responded to the alarm. Officers from the Alameda Police Department were also on the scene.
