Vallejo fire: Harrowing video shows flames on both sides of I-80
VALLEJO, Calif. (KGO) -- Harrowing new eyewitness video obtained by ABC7 News gives a close-up view of the fire that broke out near the Carquinez Bridge on Sunday morning.
The footage was shot from inside a car traveling on Interstate 80. In it, heavy smoke can be seen billowing from flames on both sides of the roadway. The driver appears to pass through the worst of the fire and make it onto the Carquinez Bridge before looking back at a large plume of dark smoke.
