# 2nd alarm Lake Fire rages in West Sacramento near Lowe’s 2026-08-13T08:41:47+00:00 | World & Diplomacy | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet A vegetation fire, dubbed the Lake Fire, broke out in West Sacramento, California, on Thursday night near a Lowe's store at 2250 Lake Washington Boulevard. The blaze escalated to a 2nd alarm, meaning local fire crews requested mutual aid from agencies including Clarksburg Fire. The fire jumped a road and came close to the port, leading to road closures on Southport Parkway between Ramco Street and Lake Washington Boulevard. No injuries have been reported, and the cause is unknown. Scary visuals shared online showed bright glow and heavy smoke visible from a distance. The West Sacramento Fire Department had not issued a formal statement by the time of the report. Some locals expressed fear about possible evacuations, but no official evacuation orders were confirmed. A separate vegetation fire on Thorp Road & Lake Washington Boulevard, at 0.5 acres, may or may not be the same blaze. ## Coverage - hindustantimes.com Tags: California, evacuation, fire department, Lake Fire, West Sacramento, wildfire Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/2nd-alarm-lake-fire-rages-in-west-sacramento-near-lowes/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
