Oakland Ghost Ship Fire


Jackson  Vest

1) It was a warehouse that served as a sanctuary for collective artists.

2) There was an electronic dance party held in the Oakland Ghost Ship Warehouse. All of the plugs lead to the same socket and it overheated and caught fire. 

3) There was no direct path from the stairwell to the exit leaving many trapped from the flames of the blaze.

4) The fire's are similar in the tragedy of the losses and how it affected the communities. The fires similarly both only had one exit.
