As you may have heard over the weekend, a massive fire broke out in Berkeley Friday night, seriously damaging the building on the southwest corner of Haste and Telegraph, which houses Intermezzo, Raleigh’s Bar and Grill, and Thai Noodle II, in addition to 39 apartment units. The fire, which is reportedly the biggest in the East Bay since the 1991 hills fire, burned for seventeen hours, rendering the apartment units inside the building uninhabitable, the street-level businesses destroyed, and the building itself structurally unstable. According to SFist, there were no apparent injuries, and the cause of the fire was still unknown as of this morning. Here is an absolutely bananas video of the melee, from YouTuber dbrekke:
