The Ghost Ship warehouse in Oakland that burned down in 2016, killing 36 people, was razed this month in preparation for possible development into badly needed low-income housing.
No cause was determined in the fire, but a likely electrical overload filled the warehouse with smoke and flames that quickly trapped partygoers inside. The building had been illegally converted into a live-work space and lacked working exits and fire extinguishers. A jumble of extension cords, rugs, old sofas and other flammable items crammed the structure.
Prosecutors charged Derick Almena, the master tenant on the lease who also lived in the building with his wife and children, and resident Max Harris with the deaths. A jury acquitted Harris in 2019, but Almena's trial ended in a hung jury. In 2021, he pleaded guilty to 36 counts of involuntary manslaughter and served the rest of his sentence on home arrest.The fire exposed flaws in the city's fire inspections, and Oakland settled lawsuits from victims and their families for $33 million.
