Fire Engulfs Hunting Cabin Near Lake Del Valle

A hunting cabin burned to the ground Friday after a propane tank leak sparked a blaze that fully engulfed the building, said Gary Linney, Alameda County Fire Department battalion chief.

Firefighters responded to the blaze around 11:30 a.m. in a rural area near Lake Del Valle.

"The building was completely consumed by the fire when we arrived," Linney said.

The blaze also sparked a two-acre grass fire.

Firefighters were able to put down the blaze within 15 minutes, Linney said.

Occupants of the cabin were able to escape the blaze unharmed.

In addition to the Alameda County Fire Department, emergency crews from the East Bay Regional Parks District, Camp Parks and Cal Fire responded to the blaze.
