President Barack Obama is expressing his sympathies to the people of Oakland as families of victims and residents deal with one of the worst fires in the state's history.
The death toll in Friday night's fire at a warehouse has grown to 36.
Obama says the full toll of the disaster is unknown, but "many people - including young men and women with their whole futures ahead of them - have tragically lost their lives."
Obama says he wanted to thank firefighters and other first responders who have worked to recover victims and treat the wounded.
He says the administration is in close contact with state and local officials to ensure authorities have everything they need as they continue response operations and investigate the cause of the fire.

The death toll in the Oakland warehouse fire has grown to 36.
Authorities announced the latest tally early Monday, saying they expect the number to rise.
Eleven victims have been positively identified, but all the names have yet to be publicly released.
Work has stopped at the scene for now because one wall is leaning inward, posing a safety hazard for those who have been searching the structure. Officials hope to have an engineering solution later today.
Authorities also believe they've located the section of the building where the fire started, but the cause remains unknown.
The fire erupted during a dance party late Friday night.
