please allow me to introduce fire chief lipp. good morning. so as you recall, yesterday we were forced to suspend recovery operations interior due to the instability of the structure. working throughout the day yesterday and last night we were able to remove the parapit wall that was presenting the greatest danger and then we were also able to put in some shoring to stabilize some of the flooring areas. this morning at 2:20 we went back in and resumed recovery operations. at this time we ve been able to search through the building and clear approximately 85% of the building right now. we ll be continuing that throughout the day. there s one corner that remains
bravo wall. if we remove the parapit there then that can cause that wall to be unstable. we need to put bracing in to support that area. if we remove the parapit wall that raises the possibility that the b side wall can become unstable and we don t want to do that. [ inaudible ]. update from officials there in oakland. some of the main headlines here. no update on the number of casualties at this point in time. so 36 people who have perished in this tragic fire, but they are not completely through the building. they said there s still a corner area of this warehouse that they need to search. about 70% has been searched. they fear they could come back to more victims. let s go back to stephanie elam live in oakland. stephanie, what else stood out to you? reporter: i think what s interesting here is every time we have heard from a press
