Damage to pipes supplying water to fire hydrants and Caldecott Field is threatening the safety of a wildfire-prone Oakland neighborhood.A mile from the origin of Oakland's deadliest wildfire, another fire hazard is looming. Damage to pipes supplying water to fire hydrants and Caldecott Field is threatening the safety of a wildfire-prone neighborhood, city officials told the I-Team.
"This is what the infield will look like if we don't water the field," said DeAndre Calhoun, the president of the North and South Oakland Little League as he pointed to dirt on the ground. "A lot of uncertainty if the city of Oakland will ever do anything about it." The I-Team visited the site and found the pipes aren't even visible. The fire line is severed and the field coordinator is concerned the backup water tank for the high-fire threat area is at risk of collapsing due to erosion from the storms."They need to get moving on this," said Oakland City Councilmember Dan Kalb, who represents the area. "It may have been the right thing, but we can't just let it sit and not take action.
