A massive fire broke out on August 21, 2025, at a 19-unit apartment complex in San Rafael, Marin County, resulting in two confirmed deaths, eight injuries, and the displacement of more than 50 residents. The fire was reported early Thursday morning and was described by officials as "suspicious" due to unusual flame patterns observed upon arrival. Investigators are actively seeking information from the public as they continue to probe the cause. The remains of two victims were found at the scene, with one identified as Tracey Lee Lowmiller, 62, a local resident known for helping others. Residents were forced to escape by jumping from upper-floor windows and balconies, losing all their possessions in the blaze. The site remains dangerous for entry, complicating investigation efforts. This incident has drawn attention to fire safety and emergency response in residential buildings in Marin County.
