"The fire is now out, but a warehouse in Berkeley is now completely destroyed after a Tuesday morning fire ripped through the place, a fire that was visible from Interstate 80. The Berkeley Fire Department got a call just after 4:30 am Tuesday morning about a giant warehouse fire in the Gilman District that pretty much destroyed that warehouse, as KTVU reports. Berkeley Fire Department deputy district chief Keith May told that station that crews found the building "fully engulfed in fire" upon their arrival."
"The two-alarm fire broke out at Second and Camelia streets in Berkeley. While crews had the fire out in just over an hour, KTVU described the current condition of the warehouse as completely destroyed. That warehouse has been long vacant, and was last occupied in 2018 by a steel foundry called Pacific Steel Casting. But the now-burnt and destroyed warehouse is directly adjacent to Forge and Tool warehouse (also currently vacant), so this could have spread and been worse."
Early Tuesday morning a two-alarm fire ripped through a long-vacant warehouse in Berkeley's Gilman District, producing huge flames visible from Interstate 80 and adjacent to the freeway. Berkeley Fire Department received a call just after 4:30 a.m., and crews found the building fully engulfed in fire upon arrival. Firefighters brought the blaze under control in just over an hour, with the fire reported under control by 5:35 a.m. The warehouse, last occupied in 2018 by Pacific Steel Casting, was completely destroyed and sits next to another vacant Forge and Tool warehouse. No injuries were reported and the cause remains unclear.
