San Mateo County Fire Department and San Mateo Consolidated Fire Department responded to a construction vehicle fire at 11:30 a.m. on Oct. 18 off of Highway 280 near Edgewood Road.
“The winds did not play a factor in the fire. The fire was contained to the vehicle of origin with no spread to the neighboring vegetation,” said Alex Pino, battalion chief of San Mateo County Fire.
The driver of the vehicle is safe and no other individuals were injured.
Cal Fire also responded due to the fire’s potential threat to spread into wildlands, but state response was canceled after the fire was contained by the county and San Mateo fire, according to Cal Fire Public Information Officer Cecile Juliette.
Smoke from the fire could be seen on the Alert California camera to the north at the College of San Mateo.
Local fire agencies including Woodside Fire Protection District and Cal Fire have increased staffing during current conditions of high fire risk due to strong winds and dry air.
