all morning long with the latest. >> mike that coroner's van arrived probably about half an hour ago. you can see the front of the apartment building where this happened is roped off. investigators are still on the scene here. this is where the fire started around 3:00 this morning. oakland firefighters say this is an old armory building that had been converted into apartments and firefighters say two people who lived in the apartment unit where the fire started died in that fire. at its worst this was a 3-alarm fire that took between 40 to 50 firefighters almost an hour to get it under control as flames soar through the roof of the building. investigators aren't releasing the names of the two people who died. according to several people who live in this building, one of the victims is a pretty well- known multimedia artist who lived and worked in his apartment on the top floor. the other victim his roommate who according to neighbors had just moved in a few weeks ago. now earlier this morning, a neighbor took us into her yard

to show us the damage from this building, and adjoining building behind it that faces 23rd street. we talked to a resident who lived in the building who said at 3:00 when he woke up, heard the fire alarm because there were working fire alarms here. woke up and saw smoke in his apartment. he and some of the other residents ran into the hallway and banged on the door of the apartment where the fire started. >> we saw a bunch of people trying to break down the door of the apartment next to us where the fire was and then they just told us to get out so we immediately ran out. >> scary. >> it was really scary. yeah. >> and after the sun came up it was damage to particularly the back of this building was much more visible. this is the view as the neighbor took us into the yard to show us how the fire spread. the building where it started was on 24th street but it spread to another building on 23 23rd street behind it.

altogether there are about 30 residents displaced. >> they were form early one big building that had been now divided. fire was able to rapidly spread because they're joining structures. rapidly spread from one side to the other across basically a city block. now the battalion chief out here says this was a pretty challenging fire to fight because of the con figure ration of this converted building. it's an old armory building that had been converted into apartments effort there's a lot of oddly shaped rooms. he also said because there were some canisters of butane gas or flammable materials in the apartment where this started. this was also another challenge for firefighters. as they were going in some of those materials kept exploding. it may have been the materials of the person who lived in that apartment. a lot of his neighbors tell us he was a multimedia artist who

had exhibits going on in several bay area locations. back to you guys. very sad start for the art community there in west oakland. thanks for that report. a malfunctioning hot plate is being blamed for an early morning fire that left seven children dead. it happened in brooklyn new york just before 12:30 in the morning eastern time. four boys and three girls were found in their bedrooms. their mother and teenage sister are in critical condition after they jumped through a window to escape the flames. officials call it the city's largest fire tragedy in years. time is 9:06. a flight from sfo landed at the new orleans airport just before a wild machete attack happened there. investigators say 63-year-old richard white tried to get past the security check point last night. when a tsa officer asked him for a boarding pass officials say white squirted wasp spray in the agent's face and took

out a machete and started swinging it at other agents. an armed deputy stationed at the check point shot him three times. >> this guy comes running with a machete over his head swinging it through security, and then he hops a bench and comes toward my wife and i and i start swinging my suitcase at him, and he runs the other way right into a tsa agent. >> one passenger on the flight from sfo says no one in the baggage claim area had any idea about what happened until they walked out after picking up their beings. officials say the shooting left white unresponsive. he is a taxi driver with minor criminal offenses on his record but nothing serious. protestors are planning an antiwar demonstration in san francisco today. they are marking the 12th 12th anniversary of the ostein u.s. invasion in iraq. they say they want the united states to stop any involvement in the middle east and asia. the rally begins at noon at powell and market. elusory toe police are

fast moving flames, you're looking at two apartments buildings this morning in west oakland. firefighters say the conditions were challenging and dangerous. >> that's right. when they entered a top floor apartment, they found two people dead, one of them we're told was a well-known figure in the local art community. >> ktvu fox 2's allie rasmus has been there all morning on

the scene talking to neighbors and fire officials. >> yeah, let's go back to her right now at the scene with the latest on that investigation. hey alley. >> hi, mike. the alameda county coroners just arrived about an hour ago. we saw them remove one of the victim's bodies from the apartment building. this is where the fire started around 3:00 this morning on 24 24th street near san pablo and west oakland. this is an old brick armory building and firefighters say it had recently been converted into some apartments. two people who lived in an apartment unit on the top floor a lofted unit are the two victims of this fire. both of them died in this fire. at its worst this was a 3 3- alarm fire. investigators say they're not releasing the identities of the two victims yet but according to several people who live in this building, one of the victims is a well-known multimedia artist who lived and worked in that unit on the top floor. the other victim, his roommate who according to neighbors had just moved in a couple weeks ago.

we talked to one resident who told us he woke up at 3:00 this morning to see and smell smoke filling his apartment. he and his roommate rushed out into the hallway. he and several other residents banged on the door of the apartment where the fire started. they tried to wake the people inside up but it was too late. >> when we were in the hallway we saw a bunch of people trying to break down the door of the apartment next to us where the fire was. and then they just told us to get out. we immediately ran out. it is. >> scary. >> it was really scary. yes. >> reporter: earlier this morning a neighbor took us into her yard to show us the damage to the brick apartment building. another adjoining building behind it that faces 23rd street, they're all connected in one building and the fire spread to both structures. there are about 30 residents who were displaced by this fire. >> they were form early one big building that had been now divided. the fire was able to rapidly spread from one side to the

other across basically a city block. >> reporter: again, investigators aren't releasing the identities of the two people who died in this fire until they notify their next of kin. according to several people who live in this building, several neighbors. one of the people who died is a multimedia artist who has exhibited his art work and galleries here in the bay area. he did a lot of metal sculpture type work. the battalion chief said there were a lot of flammable items in the apartment where this fire started. some butane gas or compressed gas canisters possibly and that posed a challenge to firefighters out here when they were going in trying to tackle the fire. some of those gas canisters kept exploding. i'm going to move forward a little bit if this car goes past here. there are still investigators here at the scene. they've closed off the front entrance to this building. some of the residents were able to go back and retrieve some of the their belongings. according to several people two
