The Alameda County and Hayward Fire Departments responded to and put out two small fires along the grassy area above Interstate 580 last Tuesday. The first call occurred around noon near Castro Valley Boulevard near Marshall Street. A second fire was later reported near the freeway along Grove Way and Center Street. Several fire crews attacked the flames, which did not threaten homes or businesses but created a lot of smoke in the area. The vegetation fires were extinguished within a few hours. Both fires are under investigation.
