msnbc scott cohen is live on the scene for us in oakland, also nbc steve patterson following developments out of our los angeles newsroom there. i want to now first start, though, with you, scott, on this. scott, last hour you were telling me that what you had seen different, just within the last hour, is that they had brought in more tents. they had brought in more personnel, and this is because they had to wait 12 hours, 13 hours, before being able to get inside of the warehouse because the fire was so intense? >> reporter: right. the structure was hot. there were still hot spots and smoldering wreckage as you said, a good 12 hours after the fire broke out and it's also not particularly safe to walk around in there. so that was what they were dealing with. now they are in there. they are doing what has got to be just very grim work, and we're awaiting now a news conference from libby schaaf, the mayor of oakland, who at this moment is meeting with some of the families of victims or potential victims, and you can imagine the frustration and the anguish that these people are going through
