Hotel witness

20 1 1 In the early morning, a hotel in Tonghua City, Jilin Province caught fire and smoke billowed. The local fire brigade quickly rushed to the scene to put out the fire. The whole building was burned beyond recognition. Was it accidental or intentional?

The fire broke out in a prosperous area of Tonghua city. There is a bar on the first floor of the building, a food court on the first floor, a KTV on the second floor and a family hotel on the third to seventh floors.

Many people were killed or injured because the fire broke out in the early morning when many guests in this high-rise hotel were sleeping. Song, an eyewitness who passed by the burning building, said that when he passed the hotel around 3 am, the fire was spreading to higher floors, and many people began to shout "fire" and ran to put out the fire. Others shouted "1 19", and a few minutes later, the fire truck arrived at the scene.

Mr Jiang, who lives on the third floor, is one of the survivors. He recalled that night in horror. Early that morning, Mr. Jiang was still sleeping upstairs when he heard a loud noise and someone was crying outside.

When he got up to open the door, he smelled the suffocating smoke and knew that the door was on fire.

Mr. Jiang grabbed a wet towel from the bathroom, covered his nose and mouth and ran out along the escape route. When he reached the west staircase, he found that the smoke was heavier and it was impossible to get out from here.

So Mr. Jiang went back to his room, closed the door and ran to the window to call for help. Fortunately, firefighters rescued the tall building in time that day. When they saw Mr. Jiang asking for help, he was rescued in time.

However, there were many people living in the building that day, and it was early in the morning, so many people living in high-rise buildings had no time to evacuate.

At 3: 24, the fire brigade rushed to the rescue site for fire fighting, personnel evacuation and search and rescue. At 4: 05 in the morning, the fire was finally brought under control.

At the same time, the local hospital has also sent several ambulances and medical staff to the scene to treat the injured. When Jiang and other minor injuries fled the scene, they suffered some skin injuries, and the on-site medical staff bandaged Jiang on the spot.

However, at that time, many people living in high-rise buildings suffered from dizziness, palpitation and other symptoms due to inhaling a lot of smoke, and were immediately taken to the hospital after being rescued.

However, due to the large fire, 9 people lost their breath on the spot and 2 people died after being rescued.

The youngest 12 years old had difficulty breathing during rescue. Tonghua Hospital immediately asked experts for rescue, but the situation was not optimistic, so we could only ask experts in the province to continue treatment.

After the fire was under control, the police inspected the scene and found that someone had deliberately set fire.

After investigation and evidence collection by the police, the arsonist was finally arrested. Wang, the principal offender, tried to get the right to operate the underground bar, but failed to negotiate with the bar manager. He deliberately retaliated and asked Wang Lu and Qu Long, two other criminals directly involved in arson, for help.

At the same time, there are four other suspects, either helping Wang buy or providing cover for Wang's escape after committing the crime.

Finally, the court held that Wang gang and others deliberately set fire, causing great economic losses, causing many casualties and great social harm. Finally, three principal criminals were sentenced to death, and several other criminals were also sentenced to death.

Due to a temporary personal desire, regardless of the safety of people's lives and property, it finally paid a heavy price.
