I was riding my bike about an hour ago and saw like 4 fire engines book *** past me... I get home, keep hearing sirens, helicopters, planes... And I'm like "what the f***?".

So my mom calls me and tells me part of the hillside in Niles collapsed... She's at a nearby park/lake where helicopters are filling up on water and dumping below the mountain side (fire I guess?).

This JUST happened... Anyone know whats going on?

 

Guess I was misinformed about the landslide... Turns out it is just a big *** fire that firefighters can't get to because of how small the road is, and residents are coming down and up, so its gridlocked basically.

 

Niles as in, Alvarado Niles from 880 to UCKK?

 

It's a shame the big *** firetrucks can't get to the small *** road.

 

niles as in niles canyon, from mission road to sunol

wow, glad I don't commute through there anymore.

 

just saw it on the news. 30 acres burned, fire is under control. It is in the morrison canyon area.

 

I smelled the fire on the way home from work, didnt know what it was. Now I do
