As investigators continue to probe the cause of the deadly Ghost Ship blaze, the Oakland fire chief acknowledged recently that she can’t say whether the warehouse was even in the department’s database. "Right now we are looking through our records," Fire Chief Teresa Deloach Reed told CNN on Thursday. "I can't tell you anything right now about that warehouse." Prior to the chief’s statement, a source in city government said Thursday that the 31st Avenue address was not listed in the fire department’s database of buildings requiring inspections. Thirty-six people died in the structure while attending an electronic dance party last weekend.
