The Oakland Firestorm of 1991 was a large urban fire
that occurred in the hillsides of northern Oakland,
California and southeastern Berkeley on Sunday October 20,
1991, almost exactly two years after the Loma Prieta
earthquake. The fire has also been called the Oakland hills
firestorm, the East Bay Hills Fire, and the Tunnel Fire
(because of its origin above the west portal of the
Caldecott Tunnel) in Oakland.
The fire ultimately killed 25 people and injured 150
others. The 1,520 acres (6.2 km²) destroyed included 2,843
single-family dwellings and 437 apartment and condominium
units.
The economic loss has been estimated at $1.5 billion of
fire insured and uninsured damage.
