Fans accidentally set fire in parking lot before A’s game

The Oakland A’s annual fire sale got started earlier than usual this season.

Some fans tailgating prior to the A’s-Angels Opening Day game on Monday night accidentally set a fire, according to a tweet and video from KPIX’s Joe Vazquez.

The fire department was called to put out the fire:

Either this was just an accident, or it was some upset Oakland sports fans trying to send a message about the Raiders moving to Las Vegas. We’ll go with the latter.

Stay safe out there, fans.
