JediMaster 451 Posted January 27, 2013 Why are these places prone to having these types of incidents? Is it the allowing people drinking heavily to smoke in a dark room where they can drop their smokes and not see them? Is it the questionable decor is overly flammable?

Early reports are the foam insulation was set on fire by pyrotechnics. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
B52STRATO 215 Posted January 27, 2013 So sad, it remembers a terrible fire in a nightclub years ago too (in Philippines ?). On our island most of these fires start in the closets, alcohol mixed with cigarettes and lighters. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
