A few people ran up the narrow passageway from the ground floor to flee the flames downstairs, hampering a much larger group trying to crowd-surf down. Not far from the mass, Aaron Marin scanned the second floor of the warehouse. “We all just looked at each other and knew we were trapped,” said Marin, 45, one of the last people to escape the Oakland building as it was consumed by flames.

Their children stayed with Almena's family until June 2016, Boudreaux said. She said she spoke to their youngest child shortly after the split.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"He got on the phone and he said 'I love you,' and I said 'I love you too,' and he said, 'Thank you for getting us out of the scary warehouse.' I’ll take those words to my grave. That kid knew, at 3 years old, he knew that that was not, it wasn’t OK.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But he wouldn't get out of the place permanently and was reunited with his parents in the warehouse last June.
