The 1906 San Francisco earthquake and the subsequent fires destroyed approximately 490 city blocks, which amounted to about 28,000 buildings. The fire, exacerbated by broken gas lines and water supply failures, consumed around 4.7 square miles of the city. This disaster resulted in significant loss of life and property, reshaping San Francisco in the years that followed.
