Livermore Patch received a tip from Livermore Patch Facebook readers at about 5:45 p.m. that there was a fire spotted near Ruby Hills.
Alameda County Fire Department sent a PulsePoint notification at 5:32 confirming a vegetation fire at 2980 E Vallecitos Rd. in Livermore. Alameda Fire also confirmed this with Livermore Patch but said additional information would be coming from CalFire, who covers this area because it is a "state response" area.
More than six vehicles were dispatched to contain the fire.
This is a developing story and will be updated as soon as additional information is received.
