FIRE AND SMOKE: ON FIRE-SAFETY NORMS AND BUILDINGS IN INDIA
Southern Mail Newspaper
|May 05, 2025
Fourteen people, two of them children, were killed and 13 injured in a hotel fire in the Mechua market area of Burrabazar in central Kolkata on Tuesday (April 29, 2025).
-
The fire engines had trouble accessing the congested area. It appears, yet again, that many of the victims were asphyxiated—smoke is as much a deadly killer as the flames themselves. Smoke quickly rises up and escape would require reaching the bottom areas of the building.
The six-storey hotel had only one stairway, and the fire that broke out on the first floor cut off escape. One person died after jumping from the building.
