OAKLAND, Dec 4: The death toll from a fire at a California warehouse where a rave party had been taking place rose to 30 today, authorities said.
“We have confirmed that the count of the deceased at 30. That is an astronomical number,” Sergeant Ray Kelly of the Alameda County Sheriff’s Department told reporters.
Authorities had only searched a small part of the two-story building, which was gutted and left unstable by the inferno late Friday night.
“We are still not done… They are working and pulling this building apart and dissecting it. And so we’re really starting to get deeper into the building. As we do that, we continue to find more victims,” Kelly said. (AGENCIES)
