Fire crews in Oakland extinguished a two-alarm blaze Tuesday at an unoccupied apartment building near Lake Merritt, according to the Oakland Fire Department.
The fire at Second Avenue and International Boulevard burned a building that was not occupied and was under construction, fire officials said. The flames were contained to just the one structure.
The initial call came at about 7:45 a.m., and crews had the fire under control by about 8:30 a.m., officials said.
No injuries were reported, and because most of the building was under construction, only two people were displaced by the fire, officials said.
