Two Alameda County sheriff’s deputies rushed into a burning home in the 1600 block of Bandoni Avenue in San Lorenzo yesterday, pulling out a 12-year-old and a 14-year-old, according to county officials. The agency publicly released the location of the fire but did not immediately share the youths’ conditions or say what started the blaze.
What the Sheriff's Office Posted
In a brief social media update, the Alameda County Sheriff's Office said deputies removed the two juveniles from a residence on Bandoni Avenue. The post stopped short of saying whether the children were hospitalized and did not address how the fire began, leaving many of the key questions still unanswered.

Fire Response and Local Context
San Lorenzo is within the Alameda County Fire Department’s service area, with Fire Station 22 assigned to downtown and nearby residential neighborhoods, according to the Alameda County Fire Department. As is standard, investigators typically determine where and how a blaze started only after crews secure the scene, and the sheriff’s brief post did not include any investigative details.
Block's Fire History
The 1600 block of Bandoni Avenue has seen serious fire activity before. In December 2024, a house fire on the same block displaced residents and drew a large response from the county, according to CBS Bay Area. That earlier incident highlighted how quickly structure fires can escalate on the street.
For now, the Alameda County Sheriff’s Office post remains the main public account of Tuesday’s rescue. Additional details from fire or county agencies are expected and will be added as they are released.
