OAKLAND — California officials fear dozens may have died in a massive fire that swept through an Oakland warehouse where a concert was taking place Friday night.
Nine people have been confirmed dead, and dozens of others remain missing, officials said.
In a news conference Saturday, authorities said they expected the death toll to rise, but they did not know by how much. “We’re expecting the worst — maybe a couple dozen victims here,” Sgt. Ray Kelly, spokesman for the Alameda County Sheriff’s Office, told reporters.
