Dance Party fire: 9 dead,
13 injured
According to UPI report, About 11 p.m. Friday, Oakland
firefighters were called to the
warehouse that serves as a live/work residence. Firefighters said
the blaze quickly got out of control and became a three-alarm fire, indicating
additional fire-fighting units were dispatched. Firefighters said there was no
evidence of smoke detectors or a sprinkler system in the building.
The blaze took place at an event featuring musician Golden
Donna's 100% Silk West Coast tour and is being called the area's deadliest
single-structure fire.
"We still have to do a more
thorough search of the building and we don't know the potential number of other
victims," Fire Chief Teresa Deloach-Reed said.
Firefighters said the number of dead and missing could continue to rise and
are asking those looking for anyone associated with the dance party or the fire
to contact the Alameda County Sheriff's Coroner's Bureau.
