Crews continued mop-up work this week at the scene of the Keller Fire in the East Oakland hills, which was nearly contained Monday following a nerve-racking weekend for both firefighters and residents,

The blaze stoked memories of the deadly 1991 Oakland Hills Fire that killed 25 people, destroyed more than 3,000 homes and caused $1.68 billion in property damage in Oakland and Berkeley. The Keller Fire began one day shy of the 33rd anniversary of that blaze.

The Keller Fire in the Oakland Hills was 70% contained as of Sunday morning, according to the Oakland Fire Department. Fifty personnel from the Oakland Fire Department and Cal Fire were at the scene of the fire Sunday morning to fully extinguish hot spots and clear hazardous vegetation, Oakland Fire spokesman Michael Hunt said.
