A no-frills arrival video shared by Oakland firefighters shows Truck 7 rolling up to a working fire near 91st Avenue and International Boulevard today, lights flashing and crew ready to move. The short clip captures firefighters jumping off the rig, hauling equipment, and heading toward a building while other units stage nearby. The union’s post does not include any information about injuries or the cause of the blaze.
The quick reel, posted by Oakland Firefighters Local 55, labels the call as a working fire in the area and specifically identifies Truck 7 as one of the arriving apparatus. For now, the caption and video offer the clearest publicly available view of the initial response to the incident.
What the video shows
The post zeroes in on Truck 7’s arrival and early moves, as firefighters stretch hoses and check the exterior of the structure. Community alert apps and scanner traffic frequently flag fire responses along International Boulevard, and the Citizen app has a separate entry tied to earlier incidents at 91st and International. Citizen includes radio audio from previous dispatches to that intersection.
Official response
The Oakland Fire Department directs the public and media to official channels on its website for confirmed information and incident updates. The department’s page lists media and general contact numbers, while the union’s video remains the primary publicly shared account of this call. The Oakland Fire Department site provides contact details and additional resources.
Local context
International Boulevard has seen more than its share of emergency calls in recent months, with local coverage tracking multiple structure fires and other public safety incidents along the corridor. Hoodline previously reported on a two-alarm blaze on International Boulevard that drew a sizable firefighter response, underscoring how incidents on the stretch can strain resources.
This story will be updated if the Oakland Fire Department, Oakland Police Department or other agencies release additional details about Monday’s fire. Until then, the union’s arrival footage stands as the main public snapshot of what unfolded on that block.
