Russia. At least 67 people have been killed and 144
injured during Russia's New Year's festivities when Russians celebrate with
firecrackers and 'cold' fireworks.
"In the past 24 hours, a total of 589 fires have
occurred in Russia, including 479 fires in residential buildings," Russia's
state-run news agency RIA Novosti quoted an anonymous emergency ministry
official as saying on January 1, 2010. Most of the blazes happen when people
build indoor fires with so-called cold incendiary materials meant for open space
displays of fireworks.

Perm/Friday,
December 4, 2009:
The blaze began at 11.15p.m.
when a stray firework during a stage show pyrotechnics display set off inside
the Lame Horse nightclub lit the ceiling and walls, which were decorated with
twigs and lined with a flammable material. A stampede ensued as people rushed
towards the one narrow doorway exit.
More than 200 people were in
the nightclub at the time; most of them the club's employees and their
relatives, attending a banquet celebrating the club's eighth anniversary.
At least 100 people were
killed and about 131 others injured. Most victims are said to have died from
smoke inhalation, severe burns and during the ensuing crush as people fought to
escape. Most of the victims were young people. Health Minister Tatyana Golikova
told that of those 131 injured 88 were in critical condition, including 59 on
artificial lung ventilation. The death toll could rise.
A government commission to
deal with the incident, was formed. Law enforcement said the fire was caused by
violating instructions on handling fireworks. The Prosecutor General's main
detective unit said it had opened a criminal case over suspected breaches of
safety regulations at the club.
Four people, including the
club's co-owner, were charged on Monday (7.12.) over the blaze and are in police
custody. Alexander Titlyanov, the nightclub's founder, succumbed to injuries
sustained in the fire. He had been a suspect in the criminal case opened into
the blaze.
The death toll has been
steadily rising throughout the weeks, reaching 152 by December 25, 2009, with 74
injured still in Moscow, St. Petersburg and other city's hospitals, of which 20
in grave condition. Medics still say the number of fatalities could rise.
Following the incident,
Russian President Dmitry Medvedev declared December 7 an official day of
mourning in Russia. Three days of mourning will be observed in Perm.
"It was wrong to use any kind
of fireworks in a building with a flammable ceiling made of wood and plastic,"
the vice-president of the Russian Pyrotechnics Association told RT (a Russian
newspaper).
Russia's emergency services
chief has called for a ban on using fireworks at public events.
The
death toll rises to 155 on January 4,2010. 58 people
still remain in hospital.
