Here's an interesting article in the New York Times - it has a team that is promising in-depth investigation of the fire and the impact on Oakland in terms of safety, housing, etc.:

In that article is a story about a similar warehouse, called the Deathtrap. Yikes! :scared:
Less than one week after a blaze ripped through a ramshackle warehouse known as the Ghost Ship, this shocked city is grappling with an array of questions about what precisely happened, many of them deeply troubling.
To try to answer them, The New York Times is deploying a team of journalists across Oakland as part of an investigative reporting effort.
We would typically reveal our findings in an article published at the end of our reporting.
This time, though, we are doing something different: We are going to share regular updates on what we uncover as we do our reporting.
Well tell you about the interviews that our journalists conduct, the documents we obtain and what we learn as we learn it as part of our effort to piece this story together.

No one answered the door at a building known as the Deathtrap, another warehouse inhabited by artists in West Oakland. Residents at many such collectives operating in the gray areas of the law are now very concerned about a crackdown.
