Angel Fire Investigation Rules Out Natural Causes

Fire investigators have determined that the wildfire on Angel Island State Park was caused by human activity, by ruling out natural ignition sources. Investigators are working to determine the exact cause of the fire and locate those involved.

If you have any information that may help investigators, please contact Fire Marshal Scott Alber at (415) 499-6566. See the October 16 Press Release...

Angel Fire 100% Contained

Beginning tomorrow, most of the firefighters will be departing the island – some will likely be deployed to new fires in Southern California.

A total of 380 acres were scorched in the Park after the fire erupted Sunday evening just before 9 PM. Firefighters worked tirelessly through the night to protect dozens of historic buildings. Efforts to manage the invasive vegetation over the years contributed significantly to their successful efforts.
