As I was cutting a corner to reach to my house, I saw the biggest plume of black smoke I have ever seen. Boom💥 adrenaline kicked in, parked my car, took the #SonyA7sii and booked it downhill on my long board to the enormous flaming lights bursting up up in the air. At least 8 Fire trucks, 5 cherry pickers, and loads of hot fire, black smoke, debris from the buildings flowing down with so much water on the streets. Several commercial buildings raced in flames on the intersection of 73rd and MacArthur in #EastOakland. It started with the Tattoo shop with a ton of chemicals then the MetroPCS store then the Nail shop with more chemicals resulting an explosion of wild flames and that ended spreading the whole building structure. More than 10 commercial buildings lit up. But our Local Heroes #oaklandfiredepartment had it under control. Some say it was an electrical fire that started it all. Was shooting for over 2 hrs at the scene and the adrenaline is still here. Stay safe everybody. 🔥🔥🔥
