lives. according to a sheriff's sergeant that i spoke with yesterday they believe most died of smoke inhalation. they believe the fire origin was in the back of the building. an air that the atf has sectioned off. they're continuing their investigation on that part of the building. they have searched 85% of the building. so far only two small areas left to go. >> there's two pockets that remain unsearched. one of them is still being looked at and processed by atf. my hope is that that will be completed today. i don't see any reason why it would not be. the remaining is that ab corner that is still unstable. >> reporter: now, one of the two areas still in that search is near the origin of the fire. we're told the other as you heard is close to that area that is unstable. now, the battalion chief says they do not expect to find any more victims in those two areas because those are not places

where you would find someone trying to run or seek shelter from a fire. they haven't searched it so they can't rule it out. the power is out here for about 12 customers, four residential, eight commercial residents near 31st and international. to shore up the building, they had to bring in a crane. i don't know if you can see it behind us, but the top is poking up here. they brought in the crane to help shore up the building. as a precaution, they had to deactivate the power lines in the area. they didn't want it coming in contact with electrical wires. it will be out as long as the crane is out here doing that work. but the four residences without power, the red cross has put some of those families up in hotels for the time being. it is chilly out here. >> allie, you and i were there together yesterday. we were told that it would take 12 hours to have the

remodeled for residential. that triggered an investigation into whether someone was living there. inspectors went there beginning november 14th but weren't able to verify the complaints and never scheduled a follow-up visit. ross palombo tracked down the city official in charge of the investigation to ask him what happened. >> there is a lot of interest in getting those answers as soon as possible. we want to make sure when they go out, they're accurate. >> now, ross went to several addresses looking for the warehouse owner but found few answers beyond him owning the property since 1999 and documents that listed the use as a warehouse. the east bay times talked to an electrician who did work at the go ship and occasionally stayed there. during the time i lived there, the building only had one electrical outlet and there was an electrical wire that ran from a neighboring business. he also said there was only one

exit until he cut another fire door. the paper also heard from a retired contra costa county firefighter who says that firefighters should have recognized the threat that the building was and should have shut it down immediately. the district attorney's office has two teams investigating the fire, treating it as a potential crime scene. >> the range of charges could be murder all the way to involuntary manslaughter. until we know what the evidence shows us, there may be other charges if the evidence presents that. presents that. >> the d.a. says her office has received many calls from people with information about people who spent time at the go ship warehouse. there have also been reports about the building it elf is. the d.a. is encouraging anyone else with information to contact her office as well. we're finding out more about the man who leased the warehouse and lived in there with his family. take a look at a mug shot of

the oakland fire are not going to speed up their work in any way. the rest of us will have to make adjustments likely. >> yes. hi, frank, by the way. welcome. i have partly, mostly sunny skies. it's all about the cold air. really cold air has made it up to the north. around the bay, 20s and 30s to 30s and 40s. some of the coldest weather we have seen here. some temperatures have come up a little bit. others holding steady. napa at 39 degrees. lots of 30s in the mix. but we did get a lot of that cloud cover from yesterday get pushed off to the south. dry cold front came through. dry for us. moisture up to the north. we're beginning to bounce off those morning lows ever so slowly. 35 by the concord pa vivian. 31 in san ramon. take your pick. but tomorrow it will all be about clouds to the west. this looks like a wet pattern.

certainly on thursday and friday. upper 40s and low 50s in the higher elevations. we had one issue. has it been cleared. >> it has been cleared. >> great. >> we're starting on the east shore freeway because we have slow traffic there. pardon me. this morning. westbound 80 you can see traffic is busy as you head out to the macarthur maze. 47 minutes though. that's not a bad time. as a matter of fact, 47 minutes is just a routine time. and we have seen it as high as 80 minutes in the past. 90 when it rains. i'm afraid we will get that. look at the bay bridge toll plaza. traffic will be busy getting into san francisco. traffic is going to be busy on northbound 101. if we can put the map up here. northbound 101 is the -- are you kidding me with this? it's backed up from 380. and the road sensors are slowing traffic all the way into the city. if you're trying to get into san francisco, you may consider

using 280. that is backed up out of daly city as well. if you bring your patience, i think you could use that getting into the city. i'm sorry to tell you that news. at 8:03, let's go back to the desk. >> thank you, sal. we will move to our continuing coverage of the oakland fire tragedy. earlier this morning, officials held a news conference updating the public on recovery efforts. we brought that you to at the top of the 6:00 hour. of the 36 bodies found, 26 have been positively identified and the families have been notified. 10 have been tentatively identified. coroner's office has not made official confirmation yet. one body has not been identified. only classified as a john or jane doe. allie rasmus is at the command center. do authorities expect to find more victims today. >> reporter: we are told that they do not. but they will not know until

they search through the entire building. they have gone through 85% of the warehouse. the work continues right now as we speak for recovery workers going through the debris. bucket by bucket, shovel by shovel we're told looking for any possible remains of any victims. they don't expect to find any more and any evidence about what caused this fire. that work had to come to a temporary halt around 10:00 last night because of some concerns about structural stability of the building. there was a wall that looked like it was unstable and could have possibly collapsed on the recovery workers. they brought in equipment and shored up the building. at 2:20, this morning, they resumed 9 -- resumed the work. they believe the fire's origin was in the back of the building. they have searched 85% of the building with only two small areas. one is near the origin of the fire. another one is near the wall

that was unstable. yesterday the sheriff told us that many of the victims appear to have died of smoke inhalation and he shared emotional moments that he gleaned from speaking to some of the victims' families. >> we have had a lot of conversations with family members, very intimate conversations about the last moments they may have talked to their child or their loved one in here. kids were texting their parents and telling them that they loved them and that they were -- they were going to die. >> reporter: now, while the recovery work continues here near 31st and international, the power is out indefinitely for the time being for about 12 pg&e customers. they are using a crane to shore up the building. they had to deactivate some of the power lines in the area as a safety precaution. we're told that there are four residential customers and eight commercial customers still without power and have been since yesterday afternoon. they will continue to be without power as long as the

crane remains out here. it has been a chilly night. so pg&e has worked with the red cross to find a place for the four families who don't have power to stay. back to you guys. >> allie, thank you. this morning, the alameda county sheriff's office announced it has positively identified 26 of the 36 fire victims. overnight three more families received the unwelcome news about their loved one. the families are being allowed time to notify others before the public is given the names. we know more about the ten people identified just yesterday. they're from the peninsula, san francisco, and east bay. they range in age from just 20 years old to just 35. ktvu's alex savidge will have more on the victims coming up in the next half hour. an emotional vigil held to mourn the victims. hundreds of people were there, including mayor shaft. many holding candles and glow sticks to honor the victims of the fire.

people stepped up to the open microphone. some blaming the fire on the lack of affordability housing in the bay area and code violations. >> what comes out of this is to be a stronger human being and watch out for others in our endeavors and work closer with the city. >> it is on everyone's mind. everybody is talking about it. i like that we have this forum here to share in that and grief together and to be together during this time. >> one of the people at last night's vigil was a musician and d.j. he created a make shift alter at the event. there were mow toes of his friends who died in the fire along with a soundtrack reciting the names of the victims. people can donate to help the victims of the warehouse fire. it is called youcaring.com. the crowd funding page for the ghost ship fire set up by the

city of oakland and the red cross together. type in oakland fire relief in the search section and it will send to you that page. we have a link to the fund on ktvu.com under web links. we just checked and so far people have contributed $380,000. we're also finding out hoar about the man who leased that warehouse and lived with his family inside. we will show you a mug shot of derrick alameda. he is on probation until 2019 after pleading no contest in a stolen property case. no separately he was named by two men who wanted restraining orders against him. they claimed he and his staff attacked them when they tried to get back equipment after a new year's party two years ago. the restraining orders were denied. we have also learned that he requested a restraining order against a woman who he claimed was a squatter at that warehouse. 2 investigates has been looking into official complaints about the warehouse known as the ghost ship artist collective. almost three weeks before the fire, photos were sent to the city with a complaint that the

main building had been remodeled for residential use. that triggered an investigation into whether or not someone was living there. inspectors went there beginning november 14th but they were unable to verify the complaint and they never scheduled a follow-up visit. ktvu's ross palombo tracked down the city official in charge of the investigation and asked him what happened. >> there is a lot of interest in getting the answers as soon as possible. we just want to make sure when they go out, they're accurate. >> ross went to several addresses looking for the warehouse owner but found few answers beyond him owning the property since 1999 and documents listing its use solely as warehouse. now, the east bay times talked with an electrician that did work at the ghost ship and occasionally stayed there. he told the paper during the time that he lived there, the building had only one electrical outlet and that there was an electrical wire that ran from a neighboring business. he also said that there was

only one exit until he cut another fire door. the paper heard from a retired firefighter who said the firefighters should have recognized the threat that the building represented and should have worked to shut it down immediately. meanwhile the alameda county district attorney's office has two teams investigating the fire, treating that fire as a potential crime scene. >> the range of charges could be murder, all the way to involuntary manslaughter. until we know what the evidence shows us, there may be other charges if the evidence presents that. presents that. >> the d.a. says her office has received numerous calls from people with information about people who spent some time at the ghost ship warehouse. there have also been reports about the building itself. the d.a. is encouraging anyone else that might have any information to help to contact her office as well. of course we will have much more on the coverage of the deadly warehouse fire throughout the morning. you can also get the latest updates at ktvu.com or check

afoot and light-hearted i take to the open road. healthy, free, the world before me,

the long brown path before me leading wherever i choose. the east and the west are mine. the north and the south are mine. all seems beautiful to me. >> ktvu's janine de la vega joining us live in san jose with more on that. good morning. >> reporter: >> good morning. the county is proposing to install hundreds of cameras in the old section of the jail. originally county leaders didn't want to invest and put

money into that section of the jail with cameras. and that's because that section of the jail is supposed to be demolished. but that way of thinking has completely changed now. and county leaders will decide whether to approve adding 224 video surveillance cameras there. right now, that older section of the jail doesn't have a system of cameras like the main jail tower. last month four inmates were able to break out of the south jail by cutting through steel bars and use bed sheets to climb down. it is very much on the minds of county leaders now. it exposed the vulnerabilities of the jail and building a new jail will take more than three years. subpoena some supervisors feel the security issue should not be put on the back burner. the meeting to discuss this starts at 9:00 a.m. at the board of supervisors. i spoke to a supervisor on the phone and she believes that this will most likely pass. back to. >> thank you, janine de la
