Officials in Oakland, California say the 33 people confirmed dead in a fire at a warehouse range in age from teenagers to 30-plus years old.
A former tenant of the warehouse that was gutted by fire in Oakland, California, describes it as a “death trap” with illegal electrical cords and music equipment. But Shelley Mack says she didn’t know the dwelling was illegal when she lived there about two years ago.

The fire ripped through a converted warehouse known as the “Ghost Ship” about 11:30 p.m. Friday during an electronic dance music party. Officials believe 50 to 100 people may have attended the event.
