Apartment fires in California
Overview
In late September 2026, a three-alarm fire occurred at a 21-unit apartment building on Bancroft Avenue in East Oakland. Firefighters rescued approximately 100 people, and four occupants were hospitalized. The building, which had a history of code enforcement violations regarding heat, power, and fire safety equipment, was red-tagged following the incident.
In mid-October 2026, a major fire broke out in the basement of a three-story apartment building on Kingsley Drive in East Hollywood. The blaze spread through the walls, affecting all floors and necessitating mass evacuations. One woman was transported to a hospital, and authorities began investigating the cause.
