A car fire on the west side of Interstate 580 Monday afternoon sparked a fast-spreading grass fire that scorched 58 acres and threatened homes near Schaeffer Ranch Road. Firefighters from Alameda County Fire, Livermore-Pleasanton Fire, and CalFire helped contain the blaze around 5:30 p.m. Parts of the neighborhood were evacuated as a precaution. Everyone returned home around 7:30, according to Alameda County Fire Department. No one was injured and no homes were damaged by the fire. Smoke from the fire could be seen from as far away as San Francisco.
