all night. in fact, firefighters had really busy night. they said that at one this was 48 this is the 48th grass fire. that the contra costa fire department responded to last night and at one point they had 9 exteriors and vegetation fires going on currently at the same time that they had a form another task force to address the fires. now this fire occurred roughly around 10 o'clock. and they did say the fire department does say that at the 9.10 o'clock hour which like i mentioned was when this fire occurred. contra costa fire had responded to 37 grass fires and exterior fires and 5 structure fires. all within those 2 hours spans. they were super busy last night. but again, this fire that, you know, they're probably have to come back today trying to figure out what was the cause of all those fires. you know it most likely it is fireworks

because they went off throughout the whole night. but they were able to put out and especially are able to put it out and save these homes here on ross circle. you know, kudos to the fire department. they were very busy and were able to put out these fires pretty quickly. hopefully as the morning goes on, james, i'll be able to talk to somebody who actually witness the fire on this block and give get a little reaction from them about what happened. in the meantime, they could sleep soundly because that fire was put out and it seemed like nobody was hurt back to you. oh, my goodness. but boy, that video, you know, you can see how close that fire came up the hillside of those houses so i can certainly see house. >> a scary situation for them in the overnight hours. but you're right, they can at least rest peacefully this morning and hopefully nobody else will set up more fireworks because i know that's a big worry today. in fact, we have some video from san francisco. we can show you now of illegal fireworks set
