Fire near Moscow Kills 11
Eleven construction workers were killed in a fire near Moscow, Russia (from the BBC).
The blaze broke out early in the morning at a cabin where workers were sleeping at a construction site in the town of Pavshinskaya Poima.Firefighters found the bodies when they put out the fire. The victims died from smoke inhalation, officials quoted by Russian media said.
It is difficult to get any details on these international incidents. I searched through several news stories, but none of them had any information about how the fire started or why the workers were unable to escape. Firefighters from every country could benefit from this information. It would allow us to improve the fire services we offer in our own countries.
