The agency issued a Sig Alert for severe traffic after shutting down all but the far left two lanes in the eastbound direction about 8:15 a.m.

It was unclear how fast the fire was moving or how many acres had burned. Fire officials from the Alameda County Fire Department and Livermore-Pleasanton Fire Department did not immediately return calls for information.
