Residents of Hayward's Hideaway Townhomes express growing fear and frustration over homeless encampment fires, which have repeatedly endangered their homes and peace of mind.
"I was in my bed, watching TV - next thing you know I heard an explosion. The entire Hideaway Townhomes complex was shaking that night when fire erupted behind a sound wall."
Brandon Gip, a resident, shared, "It's nerve-wracking because you never know when it's going to happen and because of this wall, we don't know what's happening behind it."
After significant fires and resident reports, crews were seen cleaning up an encampment, with the city acknowledging the unrest connected to these ongoing incidents.
