It took firefighters about 40 minutes to put out a fire in Bay Point on the evening of Sept. 16 that started with a barbecue unit and spread to an adjacent building, a Contra Costa County Fire Protection captain said.
The two-alarm fire at 57 Water St. in the unincorporated community of Bay Point west of Pittsburg was called in at 5:20 p.m., said fire Capt. Lisa Martinez. An explosion was reported, and Martinez said that may have been the barbecue unit’s propane tank.
