VIDEO: A firefighter was injured battling a three-alarm fire that was burning at a roofing supply business on Piedmont Way in Pittsburg, officials said.
The first call came in at 2:39 p.m. and the fire quickly elevated to a second and third alarm.
The blaze, clearly visible from Highway 4, spread to a structure at the Elite Roofing Supply Company and then ignited grass across the nearby abandoned train tracks. A huge plume of smoke was visible, a spokesman said.
Both the structure fire at the lumber yard and the grass fire were contained at 4:05 p.m., according to Contra Costa Fire officials.
The injured firefighter was listed in moderate condition and was treated for smoke inhalation and transported to a local hospital. The firefighter was released around 9:30 p.m. Sunday evening in good condition, officials said.
