they saw the fire start in the basement section of the club after a bottle containing "birthday candles" was held up too close to the wooden ceiling.
Fuck. I bet it was flimsy wooden panels (a solid wooden floor construction would not catch fire from candles that easily) in a club. Killing dozens for a bit of "rural atmosphere" without thinking of the fire hazard. Whatever idiot came up with that idea is going to pay dearly for it. Criminal idiocy and a total disregard for building and safety codes - still much too common everywhere.
