Portions of the walls and removing freestanding pieces of material in areas of the warehouse investigators dont believe anyone was in the night of the fire. We have completely searched the area directly below where we are knocking these down, we have not only run people through there we have ran the cadaver dogs and other search dogs, at this point we have declared the area where the debris will fall searched. The building was not equipped with fire sprinklers or smoke detectors. The autopsies show everybody died from smoke inhalation. It was before any fire or collapsing. The origin of the fire they believe is toward the back of the warehouse near a refrigerator, officials are being mindful of family members and loved ones seeing the demolition pictures on tv and social media. They are informing everyone of the next critical piece of the operation. We are extremely sensitive and we are aware that families are watching and they are receiving this information. While most of the building has been searched they cannot definitively say there are no victims inside. I have no way of ascertaining if there are no additional victims, we will completely searched the property and recover anything we can and make a statement to the fact we have concluded the search and Recovery Efforts, 10 of the property hopefully that is the 10 where there are no victims. Reporter at this point, 90 of the warehouse has been cleared, they still have the additional 10 , we are waiting on a News Conference to begin to get the latest update. We are a few feet from the warehouse and actually family members of the victims requested to take a look at the warehouse to see what it looks like, official set up a place for them, a viewing area so they could have their time to look. They did not go inside but they want to do see where some of their loved ones had died. That is the latest from oakland more on the News Conference coming up at 6 30. We have exclusive video of the Living Conditions inside of the warehouse. Heres the footage. This footage was taken by a former tenant who used to live in the building, her photos and videos do not paint a healthy picture of life inside the structure. Her name is chile she shared the videos online, you can see one room was separated by a crumbling brick wall, the piles of clothing stacked on the floor made it difficult to navigate through the hallway. Here is a look inside the bathroom itself. Unstable stacks of wood piled along the wall, a propane tank underneath the sink, hoses and wires everywhere, the den and other sitting places look like a cluttered mess piles of junk stacked. This video gives a better look throughout the warehouse, the dark cramped corridors made it seem like going through a maze to get around, one area it appears there is an old mattress leaning against a pile of junk, in the bathroom there is gas and electrical hookups hanging near the sink. Chile has described the Living Conditions as a death trap. They knew everything, i argued with them about it. That is why they were threatening me because i argued i said where is all of my money going . There is no heat, it is filthy. Building inspectors had been at the warehouse at least five times in the past three years. Chile paid 700 per month in rent while others paid as much as 1500. You can see the deplorable conditions inside. Back to you. The man that many are blaming for those who died in the fire showed up at the scene of the tragedy. He blew past reporters in the darkness and then he told nbc he is incredibly sorry for what happened. I didnt do anything ever in my life that would lead me up to this moment. Im a proud man, i will not answer questions. I would rather get on the floor and be trampled by the parents. I would rather let them tear at my flesh than answer these ridiculous questions. Im so sorry im incredibly sorry what do you want me to say . I am not going to answer these questions. The mans fatherinlaw described him as an absolute menace, a plague and a danger in an interview he says he doesnt think Derick Almena is capable of feeling remorse or guilt. If trent telling Derick Almena is found responsible he could face legal issues and lawsuits, the District Attorney would have to prove criminal negligence. If that happens Derick Almena could face involuntary manslaughter. Did he have a duty of care to maintain the premises in a safe condition . And was he allowed under his contract with the owners to even sublet the warehouse. If he is found guilty he could face 36 counts, one for each person killed. Each count carrying a maximum sentence of four years behind bars and a 10,000 fine. Murder charges are also a possibility and the city of oakland could face civil lawsuit. That is because city workers are supposed to make sure conditions are safe and up to code and permits are followed. If in any way they failed in that job, and the city will be on notice and the entire city is liable. Without a doubt multiple civil suits will be filed, as for the owner of the building she too could Face Criminal Charges even if she didnt know people were living in the warehouse. The deadly fire is now focusing attention on other warehouses that make up the oaklands art scene, Wilson Walker gives us a closer look. This is everett and jones barbecue on broadway you will probably hear more about this place tomorrow. The owner of this restaurant has called a News Conference to complain about her neighbor right around the corner on second street. She says it is a dangerous arts and entertainment venue. We have not been able to reach anyone but this is a perfect example of the intense scrutiny falling on oaklands underground arts scene. We are already a dying breed. Danielle used to be a regular visitor to the ghost ship a place she describes as unsafe but she fears the citys response to the fire. This situation will bring huge backlash on artists living in the community in communal spaces trying to do their best to put safety first. We went by several artist collectives all of which decided not to speak with the media. Offcamera resident stressed most of the communities are not at all like what we have seen or heard from the ghost ship. As for several other locations, they do not allow fulltime residence at all but it does not take any Library Artist colony to present this danger. People would go in there and sleep. Two years ago people died in a fire they blamed on an abandoned building. If the city launches an aggressive review it will truly be a task on an industrial scale. As we learned yesterday when the city is alerted to the dangers, there is a matter of taking action. We were not able to gain access to the interior of the building. I do not know the reason for that. In oakland, Wilson Walker kpix 5 chilling details about the thoughts going through the minds of fire victims.

City leaders are holding this News Conference that have declared a local state of emergency. Listen in. This was very labor intensive. We recognize we were not going to make efficient progress that way, so we brought in some heavy equipment to actually try to pull the pit so it would fall and that was causing additional and decide which faces the vacant lot, what was critical is for us to find out that we still had 20 of the warehouse we still needed to search. But we could not continue our search operation until we were able to secure that pit because we had to make sure our firefighters were safe. Finally the decision was made after bringing in cadaver dogs to search the second floor, to search the bottom floor that there were no hits made by the cadaver dogs, the decision was made to push the pit inside the structure but, that was our last resort. But we had to make sure we kept moving to assure the families were still waiting to know if there were any more bodies inside this structure that we had to continue our search and rescue efforts. So right now that is being done, the parapet has been secured we have companies now that are working still doing the search and Recovery Efforts and removing debris out of the structure. I want to thank atf for coming out again to help with the investigation. I just want you to know this is an Ongoing Investigation still going on with atf and there is no determination of fortune or cause in regards to this fire and if we get any further information we will keep you updated.

We have been working 24 hours straight, rotating crews in, they have been out here for three hours at a time, this has been a heavy labor operation, plus a heavy mental operation.
