The United States Coast Guard has concerns over water runoff impacting wildlife, according to ACFD, and the California Department of Fish and Wildlife has been notified. The debris from the structure and runoff from the fire does not require a full containment, the U.S. Coast Guard said in an update from Alameda County Fire. Booms are being placed in the water to contain the debris.
