“Bob Hope’s USO show got a quarter page inside the Stars and Stripe military newspaper” on a tour of Asia in 1965 during the Vietnam War. Lease proudly unfolds a yellowed keepsake: his troupe featured in a two-page Stars and Stripes spread. They toured military bases in Europe the following year and were set to head to the Mediterranean in 1967 until … the terrible crash at 13th and Julian Streets, when Lease’s little car was T-boned by a big Impala. “I died,” says Lease, “but I believe life is electricity, so maybe there was a short-circuit that somehow got reconnected.”.

OAKLAND — Oakland fire inspectors and firefighters never inspected, never stepped foot inside, and were never aware of the conditions inside the Ghost Ship warehouse before the Dec. 2 blaze that killed 36 people, Oakland Fire Chief Teresa Deloach Reed acknowledged Tuesday in her most extensive public statements on the fire. But those comments Tuesday at a news conference with representatives from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, city of Oakland, Alameda County District Attorney’s Office and Red Cross, contradicted what fire sources have told this newspaper. A fire lieutenant responding with his crew to the fire said they were aware of the dangerous conditions they would face, and a source within the agency said that firefighters responding to a couch fire outside the building in 2014 became alarmed when they peeked inside the warehouse, and alerted the civilian fire inspection team to no avail.
