Monkey Business/Thinkstock(OAKLAND, Calif.) — The cause of the Oakland, California, warehouse fire is still unknown, 11 days after the deadly blaze that claimed 36 lives, Oakland Fire Chief Teresa Deloach Reed said Tuesday.
The electrical system is part of the ongoing analysis, though no final determination has been made, Jill Snyder of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives added at the news conference Tuesday.
Reed called the Dec. 2 blaze a “tragic event” and said “our thoughts and prayers” are with the families.
The office of Alameda County District Attorney Nancy O’Malley is leading the criminal investigation. She said her office is working closely with Oakland Fire Department as investigators pore over the evidence.
