Emergency crews responded to a fire at a residential structure in the 3000 block of Wheeler Street, near Ashby Avenue, Saturday morning.

The stretch of Ashby between Shattuck and Telegraph avenues was closed to traffic as a result, Berkeley Police Lt. Andrew Rateaver told Berkeleyside.

Rateaver said nobody was injured by the fire but a dog was rescued from the house.

BPD issued a Nixle alert at 8:52 a.m. warning about traffic delays. It reissued one about 15 minutes later clarifying that Ashby was the street where the delays were happening.

We will update this story if we get more information.
