OAKLAND, Calif. -- An Oakland police officer who responded to a call at the Ghost Ship warehouse in 2015 predicted the fire danger there.
The officer can be heard in police body cam video obtained by the East Bay Times.
"One spark and it will be all bad," said Officer Moises Palanco, commenting on conditions inside the warehouse a year before the deadly 2016 fire that killed 36 people.
