KELSEYVILLE, Calif. – Firefighters quickly contained and extinguished a fire that damaged two outbuildings and a vehicle at Clear Lake State Park late Wednesday night.
The incident, first reported as a vegetation fire at 11:25 p.m., was located in the 5400 block of Soda Bay Road at the park, according to radio traffic.
Kelseyville Fire, Lakeport Fire and Cal Fire all responded, according to Lakeport Fire Chief Ken Wells, who was on scene.
The fire was located in a shed where gas and other fuel was stored, with concerns of a high danger of explosion, reports from the scene indicated.
It was reported contained and extinguished at approximately 11:50 p.m., according to radio reports. Cal Fire was to continue to the scene to take a report, with a hazmat team to respond Thursday morning to clean up the fuel.
Wells said the utility storage shed – where gas for tools was stored – burned and another small building had its roof damaged from the fire.
A State Parks pickup parked next to the second building with roof damage had its door singed from the fire, Wells said.
He said the fire didn’t get into the nearby wildland.
“No indication right now what started it,” Wells said.
