BERKELEY — At Berkeley's Fire Ready Fest, the city unveiled a new emergency system they hope will prepare them for any possible disasters.
Old newsreel films show UC Berkeley students pitching in to help carry people's furniture and possessions to safety. Current resident John Aronovici said his grandmother's house survived, and she sheltered 30 people in her home that night, along with all their possessions and a parrot. "We need to reflect on this moment," Berkeley Mayor Jesse Arreguin told the crowd."But also to recommit ourselves to make sure that it never happens again."
"I remember, you know, sitting in our home, looking up at the hills and kind of wondering. When do you start packing up and leaving?" he said.
