Officials with the Alameda County District Attorney's Office on Monday announced they are investigating the fire at the former Schnitzer Steel facility in Oakland earlier this month.
-- formerly known as Schnitzer Steel -- was brought under control just before 10 p.m. on Aug. 9, but was still producing copious amounts of smoke well into the following day. The incident produced a large plume of black smoke that prompted an air quality advisory for the East Bay from the Bay Area Air Quality Management District.
Oakland Fire officials confirmed early the following evening that crews didn't leave the scene of the fire for nearly 24 hours. The Alameda County District Attorney announced the investigation by asking the public to provide any information they might have about the fire in a post on X, the social media app formerly known as Twitter.
"Alameda County DA's Office is investigating the fire that occurred at Schnitzer Steel's Oakland facility on August 9-10, 2023. We call on any community members who may possess evidence or leads regarding the fire, contact us. 510-383-8600, or email [email protected]," the post read.
