The Crockett-Carquinez Fire Department is responding Tuesday to a reported 10-acre vegetation fire in the same area where a 125-acre fire burned near Martinez a day earlier.
The department wrote on Twitter around 1:05 p.m. that they were responding to the fire on Barry Hill Road in Franklin Canyon.
No injuries were reported in Monday’s fire, and no structures damaged, according to Cal Fire, which also responded to the blaze. The Contra Costa County Sheriff’s Office lifted evacuation warnings Monday night.
The fire accelerated quickly at a “dangerous rate of spread” and threatened some structures, according to Cal Fire.
UPDATE: The fire is now about 50% contained.

Yeah, I can smell the smoke. Better call BAAQMD and have them send out a super red double alert.
Our fire departments deserve the highest praise.
They all do fantastic work keeping us all safe.
Wonder if the causation is the same as yesterday’s?
