News summary

A four-alarm brush fire, named the Keller fire, erupted in Oakland, California, leading to mandatory evacuations and the closure of a major highway due to the threat posed by high winds. The fire has burned over 13 acres and at least four structures, threatening homes in the Oakland Hills neighborhood, with more than 80 firefighters on the scene. Evacuation orders are in place for areas near Campus Drive and Crystal Ridge Court, while a Temporary Evacuation Point is set up at Burckhalter Elementary School. The fire coincides with a red flag warning across the Bay Area due to dry, windy conditions, prompting PG&E to initiate Public Safety Power Shutoffs. The blaze comes just before the anniversary of the devastating 1991 Tunnel fire, which remains a stark memory for residents. No injuries have been reported, and the cause of the fire is still under investigation.
