SAN LEANDRO, Calif. -- Fire officials said a one-alarm fire Friday afternoon at metals company Alco Iron & Metal Company in San Leandro is under control.
Firefighters have brought the fire under control as of 4:42 p.m. at the corner of Davis Street and Doolittle Drive.
A shelter-in-place order was issued for area residents and others but has now been lifted, Alameda County Fire Department Division Chief Alan Evans said.
