The fire started Saturday afternoon at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory site along Corral Hollow Road. The updated CalFire maps showed that it burned south and west of Interstate 580.

Michael Padilla spokesperson for the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, a nuclear, chemical and biological weapons research and development center, says Site 300 outside of Tracy is not threatened by the fire.

“The fire has moved away from the site. There was no on or off site contamination,” he said. “As a precaution, LLNL has activated their emergency operations center to monitor the situation through the weekend.”

The cause of the fire is being investigated.
