The wildfire that started Friday in the hills of Oakland is about 5 miles from where a 1991 fire burned 1,520 acres and killed 25 people.
The Keller Fire (indicated by the red fire icon on the map above) was reported around 1:30 p.m. on Oct. 18 at the end of Sanford Street. Evacuation orders were issued within about half an hour and eventually covered 1½ square miles.
As of Sunday afternoon, Oct. 20, the fire had been held to 15 acres and the evacuation order had been lifted for all but a small area, shown as a red tint on the map.
The approximate area of the 1991 Oakland Hills fire is shown in gray, with the black fire icon. That fire started on Oct. 19.
