[SML] Oakland warehouse fire

[Bruce Purdy]

>  Permitted only as a warehouse, but in addition to the event, it was advertised as an artist collective with folks living on-site.
> 
> Most fatalities are expected on the 2nd floor which had only a makeshift staircase made out of wooden pallets. 
> 
> Electrical was "borrowed" from a neighboring property using consumer extension cords.
> 
> Photos from before show a clutter of mostly wooden decorations (think Grandma's attic).

	It just occurred to me last night - Isn’t this pretty close to the setting for RENT?
"All of our electrical appliances are plugged into one thick extension cord that snakes it’s way out a window"
