A century ago was the first anniversary of Berkeley’s 1923 Wildfire. The September 17, 1924 Berkeley Daily Gazette carried an extensive summary of developments since the conflagration.
The cost of those structures was nearly $1.9 million. “It is estimated that because of the many apartment houses which have been erected since the fire, new structures on the hill slopes now house 70 percent of the total number of persons who lived in this district prior to the fire.” Also, “a fire road and fire break have been built in the hills extending down from Grizzly Peak to East Euclid Avenue” and 6,000 vacant lots in Berkeley had been cleared of overgrowth during the past summer by controlled burns.
Schott and Eggert walked some two miles to Berkeley’s Cragmont neighborhood where they called police, who found the car and Smith’s body. The survivors told the police that Smith had told them he was “all right but was going to stay with the car” and they left him at the scene, but the police determined he was most likely killed instantly in the crash.
