Firefighters in the East Bay have contained the perimeter of a vegetation fire on Oakley Road and Willow Avenue in Antioch on Tuesday. 

The 10-acre fire broke out at around 4:25 p.m. and quickly reached a third alarm. 

Thick black smoke filled the air as SkyFOX flew above the scene. By 5:25 p.m., the smoke had turned white as the Contra Costa County Fire Department began to get the upper hand.
