On Thursday, October 27, 2017, at 12:33 a.m., firefighters from Bay District and surrounding Volunteer Fire Departments responded to 45450 Alton Lane at the Popeyes in California for the report of outside fire threatening a commercial building.
Units responding to the call were advised by dispatch, the 911 caller was at McDonald’s, and saw people light the fire outside the AT&T store. The responding units requested the Fire Marshall be called to the scene.
Bay District Engine-91 arrived on the scene, and reported a group of people with a small camp fire outside of the AT&T store. The individuals said they were waiting for the new “iPhone X”.
There were three individuals sitting in chairs on the sidewalk in front of the California AT&T store with a small fire contained by an aluminum tray. The individuals were camping out all night to wait for the new iPhone X release, and to pass the time they decided to roast marshmallows.
