malta court. if you are not familiar, we are on the oakland border with san leandro, and one of their friends did not make it out alive. the fire just hit. i ran back out of the house, and i felt the heat on my face. that is one of the men who made it out. this is a two-alarm fire that started around 4:30 this morning, and six people who lived in the house. two of the residents said they believe that it started in a wall heater located in the front room. the paint and the cleaning supplies propelled the flames to quickly race up the walls and the ceiling and their friend billy in the late 60s and early 70s sat down in the living room chair for a quick nap before having to get up as a maintenance man here in oakland and they heard him wake up when the fire started and they saw him stand up in the thick white smoke and the toxic fumes s we too much. and he stood up and collapsed, because it was too thick. yeah. and the blaze, the blaze was so fast that it burnt him.
