The Oakland Hills Fire, 15 Years Later

The Oakland Hills Fire, 15 Years Later

We weren't living in California at the time, but we remember the Cal student in our dorm the next semester telling us her harrowing stories of escaping with nothing more than her cat and her pillowcase (she had been taking a nap that afternoon).

The City of Oakland is hosting a memorial ceremony this weekend at noon at the Rockridge BART station, encouraging wildfire prevention tips. Clip back your eucalyptuses, everyone.
