The Latest on a deadly fire in a converted warehouse in Oakland, California

Officials have searched only 20 percent of the charred remains of a building where they now say 24 people died after a fire erupted during a dance party. Alameda County Sheriff’s Sgt. Ray Kelly says Sunday the number of dead is expected to rise. Kelly says officials have been in touch with the families of three of the dead. Oakland Battalion Fire Chief Melinda Drayton says crews are removing debris “bucket by bucket” in a thoughtful, compassionate way. Drayton says the process is intentionally arduous for firefighters’ safety and to show respect to the families of those who have died. 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 believed 50 to 100 people may have been attended.
