• An incredibly large, six-alarm fire erupted in downtown Berkeley late Saturday night — severely damaging a new seven-story building under construction. Assistant Berkeley Fire Chief Keith May said that firefighters from Berkeley, Albany, Oakland, Piedmont, and the City and County of Alameda were present to contend with the blaze; the charred building was lauded as one of Berkeley’s most ambitious affordable housing projects to date, and it's unclear on if the building’s structural integrity has been irreparably damaged; the last six-alarm fire in the city was almost a decade ago in 2011 when the Sequoia building burned to the ground.
