A firefighter who helped pull bodies out of the rubble of the Ghost Ship warehouse over a month ago is speaking out about how the blaze has affected him. East Bay Incident Management Team Lt. Mark Tait helped remove the last 10 bodies from the warehouse, including two victims who were found to be embracing when they died in the late night blaze on Dec. 2. The fire ultimately claimed 36 victims, many of whom were attending a late-night rave at the warehouse in the city's Fruitvale District. And new pictures from the ground floor indicate why it was so difficult for many of the victims to escape the inferno.
