San Francisco suffered several devastating fires, including six fires between 1849 and 1852 the last destroying almost the entire city , along with two earthquakes. Every time, the city, like the mythological bird, rose from the ashes and was rebuilt in even grander style and size. Below the phoenix is a banner which reads in Spanish language Spanish Oro en Paz&mdash Fierro en Guerra , which translates into Gold in Peace, Iron in War . Because of this, the official city colors are gold and black these two colors decorate the dome of San Francisco City Hall . The yellow border, now reproduced as a part of the flag was originally intended to be a gold Fringe trim fringe , but mistakenly became incorporated into the design. When used indoors, as is the custom, a gold fringe is added to what should have been fringe in the first place.
