Conditions . It is difficult. I know there is a lot of furniture, statues, just a lot of stuff there, and right now, because of the roof collapse, there is that additional, you know, debris. But there is a whole lot of stuff in that structure. Was any of that stuff flammab flammable . When i hear artists and artist material, do you know if that played into this . I cant say. Anything in regard to the structure fire and you know, wooden material, flammable material, paint, lacquer, any of that is going to contribute to the fire spread. You do not know the cause yet . No, we do not. How are you holding up this morning . You know, im really more concerned about the firefighters and how theyre holding up. A lot of them have been here since the call came in last night. Im going to be more concerned about the community and the families of the victims of how theyre holding up. Because this is just a real tragic day, you know, for oakland. I dont in my career, 30 years in the fire service, i havent experienced an event to this magnitude. I know in the Oakland Hills fire that we had, a lot of fatalities in that fire, but to have an initial count of nine fatalities in a single structure fire is traumatic, and it is going to take a while for, i think just the city, this community and the families to heal from this. What about families or people who have loved ones, a, is there an evacuation center, a Red Cross Center where people are going . B, what do people need to know if they just have a phone . Were asking individuals to call the alameda Coroners Office and to get in contact with the Coroners Office if they know someone who is missing, they can pass that name and information on to them. And any identifying marks or they can work with the Coroners Office. Is there anything else you would like to add . No. Again, i am just sending thoughts and prayers out to the families and friends of the victims, and of this community for the city of oakland. This was a hard hit for us today. Is it too early to ask whether you think this place was pe permitted for people to be living in, do you know . There is a lot of conversation whether individuals were actually living here or or was it really just an Artist Studio . You know, with any place, there was probably some individuals that made this their residents, but i dont want to say 50 something people were living, because the reports im receiving now is that no, it was mainly just an Artist Studio. But some folks may have made it their permanent residence. All right, so then youll be doing updates here all day . Is this the command post . Youll obviously, you and your department will be here for the whole weekend, but any schedule yet about releases on anything official on the anything else . No, thats all i have. Thank you, chief. All right, so there you just heard it. That is the oakland fire chief, theresa reid. It is obviously a very ee floegs mal morning out here off of international. The sun is coming up. We can see the damage. You can see the warehouse behind the fire truck there. Were finding out now that it sounds like people did not necessarily live there. It wasnt like a residency. It was an artist warehouse. It was full of artist supplies, furniture, tables, where artists would work. There was a party here last night, about 11 30. Lots of flames. When the Fire Department came here. International avenue is closed off here. Fire Department Still doing mopup. The Arson Task Force is heading here. The bodies of the fire victims are still inside. The chief had earlier indicated that there was a partial roof collapse, so they dont know about the safety of the structure, so they cant get in there immediately, and start looking around. But it will be a long, tedious process. This is a very serious fire. Chief reid telling us in her 30 years with the oakland Fire Department, this is the biggest tragedy that she has seen. Comparing it to the Oakland Hills fire, with the number of dead. We do know, still, 25 accounted for, and so thats the latest from the scene here at the fire in oakland, california. Where we now have nine confirmed dead, 25 unaccounted for. And the investigation, the very early, early stages at this tragic fire at the artist warehouse on 31st avenue. This is Jim Huntington, reporting live, abc 7 news in oakland. All right, abc 7 news assignment editor, Jim Huntington, live on the scene for us. Jim, thank you so much for the information.

Breaking news is out of oakland this morning, after nine people are confirmed dead after a three alarm fire, at a party on 31st avenue and international boulevard. The fire chief describes what happened when firefighters arrived on the scene. So right now, this was a warehouse, an Artist Studio, and inside, it had it was a bunch of makeshift little partitions, where each individual artist had their own work space. It is my understanding that there was a party of some type, a gathering, 30, 40, maybe up to 75 people that were gathered at this place. There was music going on when the fire broke out. Some individuals were able to escape, and some individuals were not. And did you say that there was just one entry to and from this building, and there was unentone entry to second floor of the building. There was just one stairway in and out. There was an entry through the front, a rollup door that had a man door within the rollup, and then on the side, we had to force entry into another man door. You also described the stairwell as a makeshift stairwell. What does that mean . It was described to me that the stairwell was pretty much put together by pallets, and so it wasnt an officially constructed stairwell. Im really more concerned about the firefighters, and how theyre holding up. A lot of them have been here since the call came in last night. Im going to be more concerned about the community and the families of the victims of how theyre holding up. Because this is just a real tragic day, you know, for oakland. I dont, in my career, 30 years in the fire service, i have not experienced an event to this magnitude. I know in the Oakland Hills fire that we had a lot of fatalities in that fire. But for to have an initial count of nine fatalities in a single structure fire is traumatic, and it is going to take a while for, i think just the city, this community and families to heal from this. The oakland fire chief is speaking live right now at a News Conference. Lets go to that. I know that the way the building was situated, it really made it difficult for people to escape. It has been described as a works live space, but doesnt sound like these are traditional apartments. They arent actually bedrooms. Correct. And further information, there is still some question whether people were actually living there. It was a lot of different artists partitions and studios, and some folks have said that, yes, some folks were living there. Some were saying no, it wasnt a regular live work studio. Were still trying to find out if anybody was living there, how many people were living there. Any theories about cause . No. I dont want to talk about cause it this time. We are our partners coming in from alameda task force that will assist in the investigation and ill wait until they get here, so they can do a thorough investigation, and really give us good information without me making assumptions. Chief, thank you very much. It is my information that paramedics have not transported anyone. The building inside is very cluttered the current count is nine. The chief says that apparently we have a list of 25 that were verifying. As mentioned, we still have the full structure that needs to be searched. Thats going to be it. I have to go. Thank you. Youre listening to a News Conference with oakland fire chief, Theresa Deloach Reed. She was updating us on the fire that killed 9 people and 25 still unaccounted for. A witness who was at the party tells us the building housed people who used it as an artist collective, as the chief mentioned. He was treated on scene for some minor injuries. He tried to get people out, as flames quickly spread there. We tried to like figure out where the splomoke was coming f, it was at the back left corner of the space. And started yelling, and trying to get everyone out. I mean, it all happened really quick, like the fire went up really, really, really, really quickly. Now, fire Officials Say there were up to 75 people inside the building when the fire started. Crews have called in the Arson Task Force to help them with the investigation and find out where and how that fire started. Thank you to abc were going to weather right now actually. Lisa argen, tracking our chilly weather. Good morning, cornell. Absolutely right. Looking at s if. Sfo on the peninsula, still in the 40s, just above freezing from gilroy, and even on the coast, it was just 40 degrees. Right now, it is 50 in San Francisco. As well as Half Moon Bay. So that sunshine has warmed some of you up, 44 in oakland, 48 in mountain view, low was 41. So the lows, although they felt awfully cold, they were average for early december and well get below average in the days ahead for lows and for highs. Were going to be above average today. 39 in santa rosa, so you have dropped into a chillier category, 42 in napa, with 39 by the delta and livermore, concord, beginning to turn things around at 41 degrees. So yesterday, we enjoyed all those 60s. Today, without the wind, were going to by noontime, 40s and 50s, and by 4 00 this afternoon, just when youre feeling pretty good and things have warmed up, things will drop into the into the 50s. Well many up about 2 to 4 degrees, low 60s, upper 60s, perhaps 70 in santa rosa, and then tonight, we will see a little bit of a breeze, not so cold, but wait until you see the overnight lows for the week ahead. Not only frosty, but the average highs, quite cool. Cornell. Lisa, thanks so much. We are going to return to the breaking news. Joins us by phone, j. D. Nelson with the Alameda CountySheriffs Department. Any information you have in. Well, you know, obviously this is a terrible situation. The Coroners Bureau is working with the oakland fire and Police Departments. As of right now, we have not recovered any of the bodies from the building in oakland. But we are preparing to have 40 or mo come to ore come to our b how many did you say . 40 or more. Oh, my goodness. J. D. , do you know anything about smoke alarms that may have been in the building . Were they there . Were they working . I dont know anything about that. Thats going to be up to oakland fire and if there is any potential criminal charges, then the Police Department will be involved. We are responsible for, you know, getting the deceased out into the Coroners Bureau in east oakland. The oakland Fire Department confirmed nine people were deceased. Youre saying the fatality count is actually much more . Well, we believe that it may be, and we are preparing for that. Were always better off preparing for more, you know, and not be overwhelmed. But clearly in a case like this, we havent seen, you know, a tragedy like this in Alameda County since the loma earthquake of 1989. We have to prepare for a pretty large number. I have to imagine, there are a lot of people on scene looking for their friends, their loved ones. What can you tell me about that . Well, you know, i wasnt there at the scene, so thats probably better answered for those that were down there. This was a terrible fire, of course. Were you on the scene overnight, early this morning . No, i was not. Not there. I have been in contact with the Coroners Bureau and trying to get information out about our preparation that the media wants. J. D. , what can you tell us about this building, whether or not it was zoned, safe for people to be living there . At this point we dont know if people were there, but there was definitely a party overnight. Yeah, i dont know the specifics of, you know, why everybody was there. Unfortunately, whatever the reason, it certainly led to a very large tragedy. Tell me what the Alameda CountySheriffs Department role is right now going forward. The sheriff is the coroner, so we are responsible for all the decedents, and we have to do autopsies on everybody. Well be very busy for the foreseeable future. A very, very grim task, of course. Do you have any idea how many that may be still unaccounted for, rather . No, i know the oakland Police Department has compiled a list of that nature, and then of course, were working in conjunction with everybody. But as you can imagine, it is pretty it is tough, because some people go to hospitals, and some people are, you know, just go home, and so you dont know, you know, where theyre at. It is going to take a lot of tracking. Thats for sure. The fire chief, Theresa Deloach Reed told us she has been a firefighter a very long time and has never seen a fire this tragic. She talked about her own emotioning. How are you feeling . How are you holding up . Have you ever seen a tragic fire this bad . No, ive been in the ive been with the Sheriffs Office for 30 years. Weve never had a fire like this, you know, clearly, with the earthquake, we had a similar number of deceased people. It reminds me of the fire that happened in rhode island, 10 or 15 years ago. It was what came to my mind. And i guess the last part of your question, you know, we ask our people daily to go out and do a pretty difficult task, not only at the Coroners Bureau, but the duty station and we sometimes lose sight of that fact. Not to this cascale, we task ou people to do a very difficult task everyday. J. D. , if people are looking for their loved ones, where can they turn this morning . Who should they call. I know oakland has an area down there where a lot of the people are gathering right near the scene there. You can either go there or you know, thats probably the best spot for you, quite honestly. Okay, and just once again, 40 people feared dead. Well, thats what were preparing for. Were just preparing for that. Okay, j. D. , a very grim task ahead of you.

Slow recovery into the middle of next week, then increasing clouds will warm this up slightly by the end of the week, hoping for more rain. We have a beach hazard statement, current wave heights about 10 feet from Half Moon Bay to monterey bay, rip currents a possibility through 6 00. From that, we check out santa cruz, where yesterdays highs in the 60s, and today, well addon a couple of degrees, pressure shifting to the east and lighter winds, looking for the mildest day well see in a while. 66 in oakland, 8 degrees above average. San rafael, 9 degrees above average. So it should be a glorious afternoon to perhaps enjoy a holiday parade, get the lights up, get the tree. As we shift into early part of next week, weve got cloud cover, cooler temperatures, and with that, the overnight lows, boy, it really is going to get cool and the reason being, got an arctic blast coming down and arrive not only along the west coast, but a piece of this energy all the way down to the eastern seaboard down into tampa. The entire country will be in a big chill, next week. Well feel it with the overnight lows tuesday morning, 30s and 40s, in San Francisco. Could be a little generous here. And well have to wait and see. Perhaps in the next 24 to 48 hours, getting the freeze warning or watch going from the National Weather service. 38 in napa by wednesday morning, as well as hayward. By thursday, just a slight moderation. You can prepare for that with the plants. Get some covering on them. Of course, the pets, you want to bring them inside. 65 today in livermore, 63 in morgan hills. A beautiful afternoon.

Thank you for the information on this very tough morning for us. Breaking news in oakland, at least nine people have died, in a three alarm fire. Fire officials confirm at least 25 others unaccounted for this morning. Abc 7 assignment manager, Jim Huntington is live on the scene for us. Jim, what can you tell us . Reporter all right, so back here live on the scene at international boulevard and 31st avenue. This is Jim Huntington reporting for abc 7. Weve got a siren coming up here, but the sun is coming up here at the scene of the most tragic fire in oakland in at least 30 years. We already heard from j. D. Nelson, a spokesman for the Alameda CountyCoroners Office who said there could be up to 40 fatalities in this fire. We know that there are at least nine confirmed dead inside. The chief told us 25 unaccounted for. As the sun has come up here, the street has become more crowded. Lots more fire investigators, oakland police, the mobile command unit here. Im seeing people hugging the fire chief right now. Right down the sidewalk. I see two women who walked up. It is an emotional scene on the sidewalk. But many people here, just you know, numb at the prospect of what were going to find out here, as the morning progresses. What were looking at is a two story warehouse. It is a converted artist loft, if you will. The chief, fire chief, ill be quoting here, Theresa Deloach Reed, said the two Story Building behind the main fire truck was an artist colony, if you will. It was packed inside, furniture, statu statues, artist material. We know that oakland, of course, very, you know, artistic community, and it sounds like this was a place where people would come and work. There was a party here last night. Up to 75 people were inside. This was right before midnight, when the Fire Department arrived. There was a heavy flame and smoke coming out. And the fire chief told us, the fire crews did not hear fire alarms when they pulled up. She also indicates that so far, it does not look like there were any sprinklers in the building. So once firemen were able to get inside, it was very, very difficult to move around inside, because the place was packed with furniture. A lot of artist material, she believes that some people may may have also slept it is closed off here, were right at fruit veil avenue, and it is closed about 28th or 29th avenue. As you can imagine, a story of this magnitude, of course, everybody is showing up here, news crews from all over. I see the command staff from the oakland Police Department, rowland holmgren, one of the top investigators with oakland Police Department, he is on the scene. He is deferring all questions to the fire chief. The fire chief tells us that there was a problem, the second floor of this building had a makeshift stairwell that was made of pallets. So it wasnt even like there was a normal staircase, up to the second floor here. People used pallets to get to the second floor to do their artwork. Maybe that was involved in the party last night. And so that was also a problem when you hear things like that, of course, theyre going to be looking at the permits here in this building. What was this building permitted for. All of this is going to take a lot of time. This place will be closed down, im sure, for the entire weekend, moving forward. We are across the street from a wendys restaurant, fruit vail and international. The restaurant i believe is closed. The entire parking lot is being used for the police and Fire Departments. More people are showing up on the sidewalk. I see the chief now comforting a second person. She says the roof did collapse on this building. I nor t for the first time, i see firemen up on the building. There was a residual smoke when i got here. The firefighters cannot get in the building because of the structural damage. We know the nine confirmed dead are still in the building. And presumably, now, because were hearing from the coroners spokesman, there could be as many as 40 people, who may have perished in this fire. Everybody is still inside this warehouse. It is next to a stereo, car stereo installation building, and i see here also, mobile telephone on the corner here. These are older buildings. This is east oakland. We are in a residential neighborhood, there are homes down the street. These are mostly two Story Buildings. A lot of people. There is a very dense neighborhood down here in this part of im going to call it the fruit vail, because i see we are right next to fruit vail at international. Everybody is going to be slow and tedious throughout the day. The Fire Department has requested help to get this building shored up before they can get inside. We know that the Alameda County task force is heading here now. Theyre going to be trying to, you know, get to the bottom of what happened. No one is talking yet about the cause of the fire. Once again, that fire call came in very late last night, i think around 11 50 is what the chief said. She is not giving us a specific timeline on how long it took to knock this fire down. It was very difficult for the firemen to enter the building, because of all the clutter. The furniture,he said there are statues in there. So obviously, people working on their art, a little artist colony here. But they couldnt get inside easily, you know, once inside, it was hard to move around. It was very difficult to get up to the second floor, because of that makeshift stairwell. Made of pallets. I mean, thats what how the chief described the stairwell. Still, very smoke police and firemen are standing around here, the worst tragedy to hit oakland, going back to the Oakland Hills fire in 1991, in terms of loss of life. The chief says this will be the worst loss of life
