In Oakland, at least 33 people have died after a fire ripped through a converted warehouse hosting an electronic music concert. The death toll is expected to continue to rise. It is already the deadliest fire in the city’s history. The fire broke out in what was known as the Ghost Ship, an artist collective that housed many young artists and musicians. Mourners have been gathering to remember those lost in the fire.
Genevieve Griesau: “They were amazing, you know? They were amazing. And I’m sorry for everyone’s loss. It’s the people I didn’t know. It’s just—I can’t even—it’s mind-blowing, heartbreaking.”
