Berkeley, Cal. Fire, sweeping over
the hills east of Berkeley Monday
afternoon laid waste to the Cragmont
and Euclid-avenue districts, destroy
ing at least 500 residences within an
area estimated at 50 blocks in extent
in one of the choicest residential sec
tions of the city and causing millions
of dollars' damage.
Xo lives were known to have been
lost, although two students were seen
to plunge into a Torlex of fire when
the roef of a house, upon which they
had climbed, collapsed.
Hundreds of frenzied residents fled
from the burning area as the fire
swept down the slope of the hills,
burned its way through the closely
settled and exclusive district and
eventually died down to a smoulder
ing ring of flame encompassing the
entire area which it had devastated.
The prosperous residential section
was a smoky waste.
The advance of the fire, which broke
out early Monday in brush in Contra
Costa county, was heralded by ugly
gray clouds of smoke which swept
over the brow of the hill, driven by a
brisk wind and blanketed the city of
Berkeley throughout the morning and
early afternoon.
Within an hour the conflagration
had eaten its way into the outer fringe
of exclusive homes on the hillside and
was spreading in three directions,
wreaking havoc as it advanced.
The Berryman reservoir district was
completely wiped out, and the flames
progressed down the slope toward the
oay anu norm toward the University
of California.
Householders, whose homes were
threatened by the flames, made
desperate attempts to prevent their
residences catching fire, but their ef
forts proved unavailing until late in
the evening, when the fire at last was
put under control.
