18 killed in foot massage parlor fire
Print Edition
A fire at a foot massage parlor killed 18 people and left another 18 injured, including a young man in critical condition, in east China’s Zhejiang Province, authorities said yesterday.
The fire broke out at Zuxintang foot massage and bathing parlor in Tiantai County in the city of Taizhou at 5:26pm on Sunday.
All the injured were admitted to the county hospital. Zhu, 26, a man with 99 percent burns, was transferred to a hospital in the provincial capital of Hangzhou yesterday morning.
“Besides his burns, he also damaged his respiratory tract after inhaling dense smoke. He also has a bone fracture sustained from jumping from the second floor to escape,” said Han Chunmao, a doctor with the Hangzhou hospital.
The treatment was challenged by a lack of skin supply, since the patient would need to undergo skin grafts, doctors said.
The county’s public security department said eight people were pronounced dead at the scene and 10 others died in hospital.
The fire was extinguished around 7pm on Sunday. The parlor was on the first and second floors of a six-story building.
The county government said yesterday that the person in charge of the parlor was in police custody.
