Most of the holiday fires were on the city’s southeast side, the department said, and two youths were treated for burns from fireworks.
Fireworks ignited a fire that burned five acres at 1199 Thomas Ave. in the Bayview district that threatened a dozen motorhomes before it was contained. There were no injuries reported in the incident.
The department said it was fully staffed for the holiday and had five additional roving patrols to ensure a rapid response.
