Berkeley marks 101st anniversary of 1923 fire with photo installation
Briefly

To commemorate the 101st anniversary of the 1923 Berkeley Fire, a photograph depicting the devastation was unveiled, emphasizing the need for preventive measures against wildfires.
Let this photograph be a reminder that we must work together so that history does not repeat itself, and let it be an inspiration for all of our future efforts to reduce the risk of wildfire in Berkeley, Wengraf said.
Mayor Jesse Arreguin stated the photograph would remind city hall visitors of not just what happened, but what could happen if preventive steps are not taken.
The photograph serves as a historical reminder, with Councilmember Wengraf highlighting the need for community action to mitigate wildfire risks in Berkeley.
