UC Berkeley students missing after Oakland warehouse fire

33 people were killed

On Friday night, at a warehouse concert at the “Ghost Ship” in Oakland, a structure fire killed 33 people.

Among the individuals that have been reported as missing after the fire are three UC Berkeley students– Griffin Sean Madden, Jenny Morris, and Vanessa Plotkin. Cal alumnus David Cline is also missing.

 

During the fire, the roof collapsed onto the second floor and collapsed onto the first floor.

The building apparently had no functioning sprinkler system or smoke detectors. The owner had previously been cited by the city for safety violations, Daily Mail reports.

Firefighters are still investigating the site and working through the rubble.

Updates to follow.
