Events for Rotary Nature Center

September 17th, approximately 20 firefighters responded to a fire at the Rotary Nature Center on Bellevue Ave along Lake Merritt.<p> Fire crews successfully contained the fire to between 10-15% of the rear exterior wall closest to the lake and the adjoining roof area. Thankfully, the interior of the facility was largely spared from impact, aside from some minor smoke and water damage.<p> The fire was placed under control at 7:45 PM. There were no reports of any injuries and the Rotary Nature Center was not housing any animals -- no animals were trapped in the fire. While there are verified reports of homelessness activity in the immediate area of the fire’s origin, the exact cause of this fire is still under investigation. <p> Programs are temporarily suspended. Please check back for updates.
