Pittsburg: Firefighters Quickly Knock Down Fish Tank Fire

by ECT

At 9:26 am Monday, Contra Costa County firefighters were dispatched to the 2000 block of Oakridge Lane in the City of Pittsburg after a fish tank was reportedly on fire.

While responding, firefighters were advised that multiple oxygen tanks were inside the home along with a large dog with smoke filling the structure.

Firefighters arrived on scene with light smoke showing but were having difficultly making access due to a very large Doberman dog inside the home. Animal Control and Pittsburg Police were advised to also respond.

By 9:40, firefighters made entry to the home and advised the fire was out and to cancel the balance.  The dog was also secured.

No further information was available.

Perhaps they should have bought their fish already cooked
