At 2:33 a.m., the Alameda County Fire Department (ACFD) responded to a fast-moving fire at the Lake Chabot Public Market.  By 3:46 a.m., the fire had spread to three alarms.

The aggressive fire caused a roof collapse around 3:25 am.

The market has about half a dozen small businesses, including restaurants, a meat market, and coffee shops.

Nearby schools were asked to have children and staff stay inside until all the hot spots were put out.

No injuries were reported.
