| 7th Alarm Warehouse Fire This fire occurred on October 12, 2005 in an old Home Base that spanned over 1 and one half blocks. The fire had many access problems and lack of hydrants in the area. The construction and extended burn time caused an almost immediate collapse of the roof after units arrived, forcing units to quickly stop their interior attack. Units made a extreme effort to stop the fire from the inside, but were forced outside quickly volume of fire. The fire was one of the largest warehouse fires in recent Oakland history, with flames over 100 feet in the air at times. The building was a total loss.
