His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

About 100 people were attending the event in a space that had never been inspected by the city or granted permits for public events. Perhaps two dozen Ghost Ship residents were also at home. Almena, his partner and their two children were staying in a hotel in downtown Oakland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The blaze sent partygoers and residents scrambling to escape.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those who fled, and the firefighters who attempted to enter the burning structure, described encountering a maze consisting of old pianos and furniture that, combined with heavy smoke, made it difficult to get out of or into the building.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The jury-rigged stairway made of wooden pallets burned, cutting off the escape route for dozens of people on the building's second floor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thirty-five concertgoers and one resident died.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The tragedy exposed a series of apparent failures or lack of follow-through in Oakland's fire and building inspections.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although the Oakland Fire Department had said it conducted yearly inspections of the city's commercial and large residential buildings, it had no records of ever inspecting the Ghost Ship building.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The building and an adjacent property -- a debris- and vehicle-filled vacant lot also owned by landlord Chor Ng -- had been the subject of repeated blight complaints. The city's Planning and Building Department received at least two reports that suggested the structure had been converted, illegally, into a residence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In one case, a city inspector said an unpermitted structure had been removed from the building. The city says that a second complaint, received three weeks before the fire, focused on the adjacent junk-strewn lot, not the warehouse itself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Warehouse neighbors \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/12/07/ghost-ship-neighbor-calls-to-police-brought-no-action-against-warehouse/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">reported\u003c/a> calling Oakland police repeatedly about noise and other issues at the warehouse -- including the possibility people were living there illegally.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The city later \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/02/08/oakland-records-give-new-glimpses-into-history-preceding-ghost-ship-fire/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">released records\u003c/a> that showed 19 separate calls to respond to the warehouse.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among those calls was a March 2015 incident in which officers responded to a 2 a.m. call that a rave, complete with illegal alcohol sales, was occurring in the building and that 15 people inside were not being allowed to leave.

Because of the fire, the power to the building went out and the guests that could escape, were forced down the narrow makeshift stairs in complete darkness.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>O'Malley said that under California's homicide statutes, prosecutors \"must be satisfied that any defendant acted with gross or reckless conduct akin to a disregard for human life, and that the deadly consequences of those actions were reasonably foreseeable.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Monday's charges and arrests come after a long series of reports that detailed dangerous living conditions in the 31st Avenue warehouse, which had been converted illegally into a residence. Those conditions -- also enumerated as allegations in lawsuits filed against Almena, the building's owners and others -- included \u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/2017/03/24/exclusive-ghost-ship-owners-knew-of-dangerous-electrical-system-before-deadly-fire/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">substandard, unlicensed electrical work\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11495706\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/ghostship1604.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11495706\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/ghostship1604-800x1047.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"1047\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/ghostship1604-800x1047.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/ghostship1604-160x209.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/ghostship1604-1020x1335.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/ghostship1604-1180x1544.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/ghostship1604-960x1256.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/ghostship1604-240x314.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/ghostship1604-375x491.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/ghostship1604-520x680.jpg 520w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/ghostship1604.jpg 1242w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A view down improvised stairway at the Ghost Ship warehouse, which burned in December 2016. The photo, taken in April 2016, shows a guest entering the space at upper right. The stairway was the only exit for guests in the East Oakland warehouse after fire broke out during a dance party. \u003ccite>(David Marks/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Investigators still have not made an official ruling on exactly what sparked the fire, but reports in the days after the blaze suggested that an electrical fault was likely to blame.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The fire broke out just before 11:30 p.m. on Dec. 2 during a Friday night dance party at the warehouse. About 100 people were attending the event in a space that had never been inspected by the city or granted permits for public events. Perhaps two dozen Ghost Ship residents were also at home. Almena, his partner and their two children were staying in a hotel in downtown Oakland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The blaze sent partygoers and residents scrambling to escape.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those who fled, and the firefighters who attempted to enter the burning structure, described encountering a maze consisting of old pianos and furniture that, combined with heavy smoke, made it difficult to get out of or into the building.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The jury-rigged stairway made of wooden pallets burned, cutting off the escape route for dozens of people on the building's second floor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thirty-five concertgoers and one resident died.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The tragedy exposed a series of apparent failures or lack of follow-through in Oakland's fire and building inspections.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although the Oakland Fire Department had said it conducted yearly inspections of the city's commercial and large residential buildings, it had no records of ever inspecting the Ghost Ship building.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The building and an adjacent property -- a debris- and vehicle-filled vacant lot also owned by landlord Chor Ng -- had been the subject of repeated blight complaints. The city's Planning and Building Department received at least two reports that suggested the structure had been converted, illegally, into a residence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In one case, a city inspector said an unpermitted structure had been removed from the building. The city says that a second complaint, received three weeks before the fire, focused on the adjacent junk-strewn lot, not the warehouse itself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Warehouse neighbors \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/12/07/ghost-ship-neighbor-calls-to-police-brought-no-action-against-warehouse/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">reported\u003c/a> calling Oakland police repeatedly about noise and other issues at the warehouse -- including the possibility people were living there illegally.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The city later \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/02/08/oakland-records-give-new-glimpses-into-history-preceding-ghost-ship-fire/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">released records\u003c/a> that showed 19 separate calls to respond to the warehouse.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among those calls was a March 2015 incident in which officers responded to a 2 a.m. call that a rave, complete with illegal alcohol sales, was occurring in the building and that 15 people inside were not being allowed to leave. One of the responding officers confirmed the situation and notified an unidentified person at the Ghost Ship that the event was in violation of city ordinances, but decided not to issue a citation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>Firefighters from Engine Company 13, on the next block from the Ghost Ship warehouse, were alerted the building was on fire at 11:24 the night of Friday, Dec. 2, 2016. The warehouse, which \u003ca href=\"http://www2.oaklandnet.com/oaklandfire2016/index.htm\" target=\"_blank\">city documents released Wednesday\u003c/a> confirm had been the target of a long series of complaints to police and code enforcement officials, was about to become synonymous with an unspeakable tragedy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Company 13 -- Capt. Heather Mozdean and three firefighters -- responded to the alarm within seconds. As the crew opened the station's truck bay to drive to the scene just 100 yards away, they could see smoke pouring from the Ghost Ship building.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The engine \"arrived on scene approximately 60 seconds after the initial call to find 2 story warehouse with heavy black smoke pushing from the doors and windows,\" Mozdean wrote in one of the documents the city made public.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In her brief account, Mozdean describes her crew's attempt -- along with a force of firefighters who had rushed to the scene from other Oakland stations -- to get into the building and fight the fire. But she notes that her engine's personnel were never able to penetrate more than 40 feet into the jumble of piano and other paraphernalia inside the warehouse.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After about 30 minutes, Mozdean noted, she and her crew \"exited the building to swap [oxygen] bottles at which time I did a face-to-face with IC [incident commander] stating that the interior lines were not capable of extinguishing in a safe manner due to advanced fire, smoke conditions and tremendous fire load.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Firefighters were withdrawn from the building, where 36 partygoers had died, and went into \"defensive mode' -- an attempt to contain the damage from the blaze and prevent it from spreading further.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, the damage done to the city of Oakland's reputation -- for its apparent failure to respond to a long history of complaints about trash, the conversion of the Ghost Ship into an illegal residence, the use of the site for night-time music events, and other issues -- was just beginning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The documents the city released Wednesday came in response to repeated media requests from KQED, the Bay Area News Group, the East Bay Express, Los Angeles Times and others. The trove of records, many of which confirm earlier reports, show:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>The documents also show that the Oakland Fire Department had not conducted safety inspections in the Ng properties on 31st Avenue -- which also include an auto body shop next to the Ghost Ship -- since 2010. It has been previously reported that the city has no records of either fire safety or building code inspections for at least the last 30 years.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Nineteen separate Oakland Police Department calls for service at two addresses associated with the warehouse, 1305 and 1315 31st Ave., in the city's Fruitvale district. Among those calls was a March 2015 incident in which officers responded to a 2 a.m. call that a rave, complete with illegal alcohol sales, was occurring in the building and that 15 people inside were not being allowed to leave. One of the responding officers confirmed the situation, notified an unidentified person at the Ghost Ship that the event was in violation of city ordinances but decided not to issue a citation.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>The documents also fleshed out earlier reports that the warehouse and an adjacent property owned by Oakland landlord Chor Ng had an extensive history of code violations, including blight and possible illegal building conversions. All told, the city records show as many as 15 code complaints and 45 code inspections at the property. The exact number of complaints and inspections and how many of them concerned with the warehouse is hard to determine because the records are sometimes unclear about the actual address of alleged violations. \u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This post will be updated. \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

The warehouse, which \u003ca href=\"http://www2.oaklandnet.com/oaklandfire2016/index.htm\" target=\"_blank\">city documents released Wednesday\u003c/a> confirm had been the target of a long series of complaints to police and code enforcement officials, was about to become synonymous with an unspeakable tragedy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Company 13 -- Capt. Heather Mozdean and three firefighters -- responded to the alarm within seconds. As the crew opened the station's truck bay to drive to the scene just 100 yards away, they could see smoke pouring from the Ghost Ship building.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The engine \"arrived on scene approximately 60 seconds after the initial call to find 2 story warehouse with heavy black smoke pushing from the doors and windows,\" Mozdean wrote in one of the documents the city made public.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In her brief account, Mozdean describes her crew's attempt -- along with a force of firefighters who had rushed to the scene from other Oakland stations -- to get into the building and fight the fire. But she notes that her engine's personnel were never able to penetrate more than 40 feet into the jumble of piano and other paraphernalia inside the warehouse.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After about 30 minutes, Mozdean noted, she and her crew \"exited the building to swap [oxygen] bottles at which time I did a face-to-face with IC [incident commander] stating that the interior lines were not capable of extinguishing in a safe manner due to advanced fire, smoke conditions and tremendous fire load.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The trove of records, many of which confirm earlier reports, show:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>The documents also show that the Oakland Fire Department had not conducted safety inspections in the Ng properties on 31st Avenue -- which also include an auto body shop next to the Ghost Ship -- since 2010. It has been previously reported that the city has no records of either fire safety or building code inspections for at least the last 30 years.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Nineteen separate Oakland Police Department calls for service at two addresses associated with the warehouse, 1305 and 1315 31st Ave., in the city's Fruitvale district. Among those calls was a March 2015 incident in which officers responded to a 2 a.m. call that a rave, complete with illegal alcohol sales, was occurring in the building and that 15 people inside were not being allowed to leave. One of the responding officers confirmed the situation, notified an unidentified person at the Ghost Ship that the event was in violation of city ordinances but decided not to issue a citation.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>The documents also fleshed out earlier reports that the warehouse and an adjacent property owned by Oakland landlord Chor Ng had an extensive history of code violations, including blight and possible illegal building conversions. All told, the city records show as many as 15 code complaints and 45 code inspections at the property. The exact number of complaints and inspections and how many of them concerned with the warehouse is hard to determine because the records are sometimes unclear about the actual address of alleged violations. \u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This post will be updated. \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

"content": "\u003cp>The fire that killed 36 people in an artist collective in Oakland last month has led top San Francisco fire officials to contemplate randomly inspecting the city's nearly 1,000 warehouses for safety violations, a possibility strongly rejected by artist and tenant advocates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco Fire Marshal Dan De Cossio \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfexaminer.com/sf-orders-3-warehouses-vacate-following-ghost-ship-fire/\" target=\"_blank\">revealed \u003c/a>that since the Ghost Ship warehouse fire, the department has issued \"orders to vacate\" to residents they say were living illegally and dangerously in three warehouses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Our mandate here is to keep people safe in buildings,\" De Cossio said during a Fire Commission meeting on Wednesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We need to be careful not to give a false sense of security to people that are living in buildings that were not permitted for that use,\" De Cossio said. \"I think it would be irresponsible for us, if we thought there was an event in a specific building, that there would most likely be fatalities, for us not to take action.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His remarks come as artists in the Bay Area and around the country have repeatedly \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/forum/2016/12/14/after-the-ghost-ship-fire-whats-next-for-bay-area-artists-regulations-and-safety/\" target=\"_blank\">expressed fear\u003c/a> that safety crackdowns prompted by the Dec. 2 Ghost Ship fire would lead to members of their communities getting evicted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Ghost Ship warehouse in Oakland's Fruitvale neighborhood was not permitted as a living space.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two of the San Francisco buildings that received notices are located in the city's South of Market neighborhood and one was on Potrero Hill, according to department spokesman Jonathan Baxter. The notices were all issued in the two weeks after the Oakland blaze.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fire officials believe the orders affected up to 24 people, Baxter said Thursday. He was not aware if any of them were artists.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The vacate orders came after the department received 15 complaints about warehouse safety problems, according to De Cossio. The buildings that received them had \"deficient\" exits or lacked proper permits, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Currently, according to fire officials, inspections and any resulting orders are strictly complaint-driven.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At Wednesday's meeting, San Francisco Fire Commissioner Ken Cleveland suggested a more aggressive inspection protocol to De Cossio \"just to put the community on notice,\" Cleveland said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We could do random,\" De Cossio said. \"We are open to that idea.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After the Ghost Ship blaze, fire officials discussed the idea of random inspections, according to Fire Chief Joanne Hayes-White. \"There's competing feelings about that,\" she acknowledged.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"When we say 'notice to vacate' it is our opinion that it is unsafe, and they should vacate,\" Hayes-White said. \"There are entities that feel that other solutions should be offered instead of putting someone right out there on the street.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Fire Department would need to work with other city agencies before moving forward on random warehouse inspections, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A change in warehouse inspection policy, which would require reforms to local code, is a bad idea, according to Randy Shaw, a longtime tenant activist who directs the Tenderloin Housing Clinic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"A random sweep is not a good use of resources and is particularly worrisome,\" Shaw said Thursday. \"The city should not embark on this plan.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Artist advocates agree.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The government cracking down on artists' spaces, causing confusion, fear and potentially evictions and displacement, is not the way to make the city safe for artists,\" said Spike Kahn, director and founder of the Pacific Felt Factory arts complex, which has more than a dozen artist studios.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Fire safety is important, but so is having a place to sleep inside and out of the rain,\" Kahn said Thursday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The city should help fund work to bring warehouses up to code and keep the spaces affordable, Kahn said. She is calling for the creation of a task force involving community artists and city officials to help create ways to prevent artist evictions and keep their current homes safe.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We cannot allow the city to kick people out of buildings where they live and work,\" Kahn said. \"They are not in unsafe buildings because they want to be. They have no choice ... in one of the most expensive cities in the world.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That balance is something Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf tried to strike on Wednesday. Schaaf issued an \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/2017/01/11/oakland-mayor-issues-exec-order-protecting-tenants-of-unsafe-warehouse-spaces/\" target=\"_blank\">executive order\u003c/a> aimed at bringing non-permitted residential spaces into compliance with city law while minimizing displacement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco is looking into similar solutions, according to Debra Walker, vice president of the Building Inspection Commission and also an artist.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the short term, city agencies should try to avoid tactics that lead to people getting displaced from unauthorized warehouses, Walker said. Long term, the city should come up with reforms that could potentially legalize them and make them safer, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Nobody wants anything to happen close to what happened at Ghost Ship,\" Walker said.\u003c/p>\n\n",

The notices were all issued in the two weeks after the Oakland blaze.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fire officials believe the orders affected up to 24 people, Baxter said Thursday. He was not aware if any of them were artists.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The vacate orders came after the department received 15 complaints about warehouse safety problems, according to De Cossio. The buildings that received them had \"deficient\" exits or lacked proper permits, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Currently, according to fire officials, inspections and any resulting orders are strictly complaint-driven.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At Wednesday's meeting, San Francisco Fire Commissioner Ken Cleveland suggested a more aggressive inspection protocol to De Cossio \"just to put the community on notice,\" Cleveland said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We could do random,\" De Cossio said. \"We are open to that idea.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After the Ghost Ship blaze, fire officials discussed the idea of random inspections, according to Fire Chief Joanne Hayes-White. \"There's competing feelings about that,\" she acknowledged.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"When we say 'notice to vacate' it is our opinion that it is unsafe, and they should vacate,\" Hayes-White said. \"There are entities that feel that other solutions should be offered instead of putting someone right out there on the street.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Fire Department would need to work with other city agencies before moving forward on random warehouse inspections, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A change in warehouse inspection policy, which would require reforms to local code, is a bad idea, according to Randy Shaw, a longtime tenant activist who directs the Tenderloin Housing Clinic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"A random sweep is not a good use of resources and is particularly worrisome,\" Shaw said Thursday. \"The city should not embark on this plan.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Artist advocates agree.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The government cracking down on artists' spaces, causing confusion, fear and potentially evictions and displacement, is not the way to make the city safe for artists,\" said Spike Kahn, director and founder of the Pacific Felt Factory arts complex, which has more than a dozen artist studios.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Fire safety is important, but so is having a place to sleep inside and out of the rain,\" Kahn said Thursday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The city should help fund work to bring warehouses up to code and keep the spaces affordable, Kahn said. She is calling for the creation of a task force involving community artists and city officials to help create ways to prevent artist evictions and keep their current homes safe.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We cannot allow the city to kick people out of buildings where they live and work,\" Kahn said. \"They are not in unsafe buildings because they want to be.

Long term, the city should come up with reforms that could potentially legalize them and make them safer, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Nobody wants anything to happen close to what happened at Ghost Ship,\" Walker said.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Though the warehouse sits less than 200 yards away, the firehouse’s proximity did nothing to help prevent America’s deadliest structural fire in more than a decade.

Those familiar with the Ghost Ship have described the interior as a maze of highly flammable art and decorations. The main path from the ground floor to the second-floor performance space in use the night of the fire was a rickety stairway built partly from wooden pallets. The building was not equipped with sprinklers or fire alarms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It was a trap for people who were there,\" said attorney Mary Alexander, who is representing the families.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The defendants failed to provide a safe space or failed to manage the property itself, the lawsuits say.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One lawsuit was filed in Alameda Superior Court on behalf of the family of \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/2016/12/14/griffin-madden-extremely-smart-gifted-student-and-broad-minded-dj/\">Griffin Madden\u003c/a>, 23, who was a recent UC Berkeley graduate.

Those familiar with the Ghost Ship have described the interior as a maze of highly flammable art and decorations. The main path from the ground floor to the second-floor performance space in use the night of the fire was a rickety stairway built partly from wooden pallets. The building was not equipped with sprinklers or fire alarms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It was a trap for people who were there,\" said attorney Mary Alexander, who is representing the families.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The defendants failed to provide a safe space or failed to manage the property itself, the lawsuits say.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
