Officials punished after fatal fire
SEVERAL officials have been punished after a kindergarten fire in central China's Hunan Province killed two children and injured three others on Sunday, local officials said.
Chen Li, head of the Lantian Kindergarten, and Ou Xiuqiu, a school nurse, have been detained while eight local education officials, including the deputy director of the county education bureau, have been suspended from their posts.
The fire broke out about midnight Sunday. Two children died of smoke inhalation and another three were slightly injured and are in stable condition, the Xinhua news agency reported yesterday.
A preliminary investigation showed Ou ignited mosquito-repellent incense, which triggered the blaze, and left children sleeping alone without getting approval.
The Lantian Kindergarten was located in a two-floor residential house away from the country fair in Haotou County. It has suspended classes and been cordoned off, the Sanxiang City Express, a local newspaper, reported.
The injured students have been discharged from the hospital and are back home.
