10 die in Moscow striptease club


The Deported One

MOSCOW - Fire broke out in a Moscow striptease club early Sunday, killing 10 people, an Emergency Situations Ministry spokesman said.

The cause of the blaze had not been determined, but some witnesses said it broke out during a "fire show" that was part of the club's nightly entertainment, said Yevgeny Bobylev, a spokesman for the Moscow division of the Ministry.

 

The preliminary accounts indicated that a performer in the show inadvertently set his clothing on fire and that in turn ignited a nearby one-gallon container of flammable liquid, Bobylev said.

 

He said all the deaths were due to suffocation. About 150 people were evacuated, including four who were hospitalized.

 

The club, called 911, was located on the premises of the Lenkom theater, a well-known stage in downtown Moscow not far from Pushkin Square. The club's Website describes it as offering striptease and erotic entertainment.

 

The fire broke out shortly after 3 a.m. local time.

 

The city prosecutor's office has opened a criminal investigation on suspicion of fire safety violations, the ITAR-Tass news agency reported.

 

The club blaze draws new attention to Russia's severe problem with fire deaths. Some 17,000 people died in fires last year, according the Emergency Ministry — a rate several times higher than seen in Western countries. Officials say poor enforcement of fire regulations, improper construction and lax attention all contribute to the high rate.

 

Last week, a fire killed 63 residents of a nursing home in a southern Russian town, where the local fire department had been disbanded; fire crews took about an hour to get to the scene. A new alarm system had not been fully installed at the nursing home and some reports said a watchman ignored initial alarms from the system, calling for help only when he saw flames.
