A fire broke out in an Indian isolation hotel in COVID-19, killing seven people. Was the fire an accident?

According to India, local time was around 5 am on the 9th. A fire broke out in a hotel in Vijayawada, Andhra Pradesh, southern India. This hotel is a treatment center for patients in COVID-19. Seven people were killed and many injured in the fire. The fire was an accident, which was caused by a short circuit at the front desk of the hotel. It is reported that there are more than 50 COVID-19 patients living in this hotel. Other patients in the hotel have been safely transferred to the nearby Ramesh Hospital. The local government said that the death toll may be increasing because some people have not escaped. Because two patients saw that the scene was in critical condition, they hurriedly jumped from the upstairs. At present, the two are in critical condition. ?

When the fire broke out, many passengers lived on relatively high floors. Ordinary travelers are not familiar with the hotel environment. When the fire broke out, people were very flustered. Some people ran to the wrong place and did not evacuate in order, which brought more serious disasters. If there is a fire at night, we are usually sleeping and the escape action is delayed for a long time; A few people who didn't sleep were drinking or entertaining, so they were insensitive to fire and couldn't escape in time, causing casualties. ?

In case of fire, there will be a lot of smoke. Be calm at this time and never take the elevator downstairs. We can find a towel and a sheet, wet it with water, cover ourselves and cover our nose and mouth with a wet towel. Find a chance to go out. If the fire is really big, we will turn on the tap and continue running water. We can also fill the bathtub with water and lie in it. These methods are only used when we can't find a way out and rescuers haven't arrived yet.

This time, it was the second hospital in COVID-19 where a fire broke out. A fire broke out in another hospital, killing 8 ICU patients and injuring 1 medical staff.
