FIRESTORM 1991
The Oakland Firestorm 1991 was a catastrophic wildland-urban interface conflagration that occurred October 19-20 on the hillsides of North Oakland/Southeast Berkeley. It was contained October 23. At least 25 people were killed and 3,500 homes destroyed.
Berkeley fireman Owen Sims grew up in Berkeley and graduated from Berkeley High. He was nine years old at the time of the 1991 Firestorm.
“As Firefighters, we are constantly interfacing with people who need more help than can be addressed during a 15-minute 911 Response,” explained Sims.
BERKELEY FIREFIGHTERS RANDOM ACTS or BFRA is a non-profit organization he has teamed up with. Their goal is to raise funds to help people in need or at risk.
DAVID LANCE GOINES, a local artist and printmaker, is creating a Berkeley Firefighters poster to benefit BFRA causes. He will print 1,000 posters. They’re available to order for $40 each.

Four loyal supporters of the Berkeley Public Library Foundation www.bplf.org attended a special luncheon yesterday at SF’s elegant Boulevard Restaurant www.boulevardrestaurant.com (Photo from left): Barbara Manierre, Rachelle Owen, Toni Garrett, Julie Nachtwey. Hostess was columnist Leah Garchik, SF CHRONICLE. Renowned Chef Nancy Oakes greeted the women as they dined on crispy squash blossoms and Chioggia Beet Ravioli. Boulevard is located at 1 Embarcadero, in the historic Audiffred Building built in 1889. It’s one of the city’s oldest remaining buildings from early San Francisco, City landmark #7.
The luncheon was offered as an auction item at the Foundation’s annual Authors Dinner held in early February. BPLF has raised more than $3.5m to renovate Berkeley’s main library and four branches. The current goal is to create a “Teen Center” in the main library building. The Berkeley Public Library offers Berkeley residents more than 300 viable programs and services such as how to read, use a computer, fill out a job application, make a budget and much, much more.
