The Fire at the Villaggio Mall

I figure I offer a short break down of how the fire started and why I urge people not to shop at the Villaggio Mall any more. 

On May 28th a fire broke out in the Villaggio Mall and basically sealed off a major exit. Since there was no equipment to put out the fire like sprinklers, firefighting equipment, or properly trained staff the fire went uncontrolled for a long time.

Smoke fills the corridors and as it turns out the unlicensed nursery Gympanzee is in an area with no easy path out and packed with small children and babies. 19 humans die in the blaze 13 of which are children. 

In the aftermath of the fire the investigation finds that the lack of water sprinklers in the Villaggio Mall, inadequate fire alarm system, and poorly trained staff were significant factors in the loss of life. Other factors which came into play during the Villaggio Mall fire resulting in the loss of life were; substandard building material, faulty wiring, and confusing design of the mall.

The Villaggio Mall is a death trap by design.

Direct quote by the investigation team, " It appears a perfect storm of negligence and lack of preparation contributed to the death of 19 people in the deadly Villaggio fire."
