OAKLAND – An Oakland City Council member called a fire at a tiny home community that displaced five people Monday morning “unacceptable,” according to the council member’s office.
Shortly after 10 a.m., fire dispatchers received word of a fire at Second Avenue and East 12th Street where the Union Point on the Rise community merged with the tiny home community of Lakeview Village.When firefighters arrived, three Union Point tiny homes were engulfed in flames, fire spokesman Michael Hunt said. A fourth was damaged but not destroyed, Hunt said.
In 25 minutes, firefighters were able to bring the fire under control. No one was injured or killed, Hunt said. Council President Nikki Fortunato Bas said she was saddened that five people were displaced by the fire and that the fire shouldn’t have happened. “It is unacceptable that this fire took place,” Bas said. “The site must be a safe and high quality living space for clients, staff, and nearby community members, including students and staff next door at Dewey Academy.”
