In what may be the deadliest structure fire in Oakland’s history, at least nine people died in a blaze that broke out late Friday at an electronic music party at a Fruitvale district live-work space, officials said.
     The fire tore through the two-story building in the 1300 block of 31st Avenue at about 11:30 p.m. Friday during an event featuring musician Golden Donna’s 100% Silk West Coast tour.
     Most of the nine dead were found on the second floor, and another 25 people are unaccounted for, Fire Chief Teresa Deloach-Reed said.
     ''We still have to do a more thorough search of the building and we don’t know the potential number of other victims,'' Deloach-Reed said. No firefighters were reported injured while battling the blaze.
     The blaze is already being called one of the deadliest single-structure fires in Oakland’s history, if not the deadliest.
