Fire in Brazilian night club leaves 245 people dead, 200 injured

A fire swept through a crowded nightclub in southern Brazil early today Sunday January 27th, killing at least 245 people (and still counting) and leaving hundreds injured, police and firefighters told local media.

Fire broke out at popular night club, Kiss Club, in the city of Santa Maria, while a band was performing. There were over a 1000 people at the club when fire started at around 2 a.m. A stampede ensued immediately as party goers pushed and shoved each other to escape.

The cause of the fire is not yet known, officials said. A police spokesman told a radio station that a truck carrying 70 bodies arrived at the Municipal Sports Center, which they used as an improvised morgue.

"Sad Sunday", the governor of the southern state of Rio Grande do Sul tweeted. He said all possible action was being taken and that he would be in the city later in the day.

      BBC says cause of fire is fireworks inside club ignited d sound proofing material on d walls. Am sure some dumb ass must have poured spirit on it to extinguish it causing rapid spreading of the flames. Sad sad.

    The Brazillian movies 'City Of God' & 'Tropa De Elite' just came to my mind; similar scenes there. I also understand the club had just an exit...seriously? Looks like the criteria for opening a night club in Brazil is: A). It must have one exit. B). The whole of brazil is free to attend - No bouncing.

    Some of you are so silly. Fire swept through a garment factory in Bangladesh a month ago killing the same amount of people. What was those ppl's cause for being dead?

    The issue isn't about people going to clubs, the issue is about building that do not have enough emergency exits and some where they are not even lit. When you are in public building make sure you know where the exits are, and don't go into building that have only one exit, meaning you get out the same way you get in.

    Why do so many rely on God to save them when in reality you need Good Building Codes well marked Fire Exist and Fire Alarms and Fire Sprinkler Systems and Fire Extinguishers in well lite visible places. These things are the only things that will save you.
