SAN LORENZO (CBS SF) — More than 40 firefighters were on the scene of a fire at the historic Lorenzo Theater in the unincorporated Alameda County community of San Lorenzo, but now in defensive operations, the Alameda County Fire Department said Friday evening.

The Alameda County Fire Department got the call regarding the fire at 16080 Hesperian Boulevard in San Lorenzo at about 5:30 p.m.

Twitter account first tweeted about the fire shortly after 6 p.m. The department said crews were moving apparatus out of possible collapse zones.

The account later posted video showing firefighters fighting defensive fire from the building’s exterior.

The public is being advised to avoid the area.

According to its website, the Lorenzo Theater was opened in 1947. The 700-seat, single screen theater has a classic art deco style to its facade.

The nonprofit organization Lorenzo Theater Foundation was formed in 1999 to work for its preservation and restoration.

The 73-year-old theater closed in 1982, according to cinematreasures.org, which also says the theater was designated as a California Historic Resource in 2001.
