Updated: Homeless Man Escapes in Berkeley Fire
Up to 100 recycling bins burned in a fire near the University Avenue offramp from Interstate Highway 80, the city's acting fire chief said.
Fire investigators are trying to determine the cause of the fire. Initial reports suggested the fire may have started from an explosion in a methamphetamine lab, Dong said, but investigators have so far found no evidence of that.
The fire was reported at 2:41 p.m. near the corner of Hearst Avenue and Second Street, according to a fire dispatcher.
