Unfortunately, a devastating and deadly property FIRE can often make News Headlines, featuring on the Television and in the Daily Newspapers, especially if people have tragically been killed or seriously injured and the building badly damaged. In American history for example, during a matinee performance, attended by 1,700 people, at the Iroquois Theatre in Chicago, Illinois, on December 30,1903, a catastrophic building fire broke out causing 602 deaths and 250 non-fatal injuries! The fire was the deadliest single-building disaster ever until September 11, 2001, when the destruction of the World Trade Centre made News Headlines! Caused when Al-Qaeda terrorists hijacked two planes and flew them into the Twin Towers, fatally killing 3,000 people, many of whom were trapped on the higher floors of the buildings when several fires broke out! When thinking about fatal Fires being reported on the news, here in Britain, the 24-storey, Grenfell Tower Fire that broke out on 14 June 2017, is one that most adults remember with horror as the terrible scenes were broadcast on televisions around the entire Country. Seventy people died at the scene, two people died later in hospital and more than 70 individuals were injured!
