Tragic loss of animal life in Siberian mall fire

[Catherine]

There have been some terrible tragedies because of blocked fire doors. People still don't take this seriously no matter how many people have died as a result.

Fire doors and fire alarms may have made a difference to the human victims of the mall fire, but I suspect the animals would still have died. I doubt they had a fire safety plan for the animals.

I hope the inquest determines what caused the fire. I think we have a right to know. If you understand what causes fires it is easier to prevent fires. Prevention is still the best way to protect life.
