There was a fire in the 2300 block of Wayne Street. The main house on a large lot was mostly burned by a fire that required multiple pieces of equipment and no one was at home at the time.
PG&E was called to shut off the gas, which was contributing to the conflagration. In August, an active pipe bomb was found in the front yard of the same property. The property owner moved it to the street and called the police. The Walnut Creek bomb squad arrived and rendered the device safe by detonating it in a controlled way.
