The former Sanders world headquarters and factory went up in a blaze yesterday morning around 5 a.m. These photos were taken 13 hours after the fire started, and it was still going strong.
This truck is from Berkley – this is a pretty large fire, and surrounding communities did pitch in.

Loved Sander’s when I was a kid…still in business? Used to go to the one in Eastland Mall.
did the City of Berkeley also provide the sundress-wearing blonde? LOL
saw this one from my house
I was the plant engineer at this plant. It kills me to see this once remarkable and beautifully built plant burn up it could have lasted another 100 years if it was run with good management and sales force
I agree ! that place was an awesome facility. This was a travesty.
