A vehicle was spotted engulfed in flames early this morning just outside of Parking Lot E on Campus Loop Road, near the intersection of Campus Hill Drive, prompting a rapid response from Campus Safety and local fire crews. First responders arrived on the scene within minutes to extinguish the heavy flames, which were contained entirely to the vehicle before it could spread to the Campus Vineyards.
All students and faculty are presumed safe at this time, and no injuries have been reported. The campus grounds remain secure, and a portion of the roads are closed as police investigators remain on scene to examine the source of the flames.
An abandoned vehicle fully enveloped by fire was first spotted by members of the Pacific Motorcycle Training school this morning around 6:38 a.m., causing a brief panic among those who were arriving for the morning’s driving lessons. The call went out, and two fire engines and a tactical fire unit from the Livermore Pleasanton Fire Department rushed to the scene.
A BURNED and abandoned Lexus is shown on the Citizen app. It wasn’t in the exact location as the map shows, but it did alarm the community to the fire on campus. The fire department left after the flames were dead, but police stayed to investigate further. (Citizen App)…
