As of the 18th of April 2007, it has been over 100 years since the quake and fire of 1906. While the quake itself didn't actually do all the damage, the fire that almost immediately followed was significantly devastating. In part because among the things that were damaged, was the water supply system. Without water to fight the fire, it was essentially uncontrollable. One hundred years later, a centennial commemoration was celebrated. For complete information on the Centennial Activities check out 1906centennial.org/
