This Dec. 19, 2016 photo shows a fire extinguisher hanging on the wall at an underground music club known as known as Purple 33 in a Playa Vista neighborhood of Los Angeles. About a week after 36 people died in a fire at an underground music party in Oakland, inspectors acting on a complaint discovered a makeshift nightclub and unpermitted living quarters concealed in a warehouse near Los Angeles International Airport. Authorities searching the drab, two-story building found an illegally constructed dance floor, paired with a bar and DJ booth. Haphazard wiring snaked through walls, and an outdoor staircase capped by a bamboo canopy was flagged as a fire threat. (AP Photo/Christine Armario)
