西德里大火，致27人死亡

NEW DELHI:A massive fire engulfed a four-storey commercial building in Mundka in west Delhi on Friday, killing at least 27 people and leaving dozens injured. There were about 200 people in the building when the fire broke out and the toll is likely to go up.

新德里：周五，一场大火吞没了西德里蒙德卡一座四层商业建筑，造成至少27人死亡，数十人受伤。火灾发生时，大楼里大约有200人，死亡人数可能还会上升。

High drama played out in the congested area as many people jumped from the building to save themselves. Fire officials managed to rescue dozens of people from the blaze after entering the building but the high casualties could not be prevented.

拥挤的地区上演了戏剧性的一幕，许多人从大楼里跳下来自救。消防官员进入大楼后，设法从大火中救出数十人，但严重的伤亡无法避免。

Highly combustible material and a narrow passage posed a huge challenge to the rescue operation and made escape from the inferno difficult. "The fire started on the first floor of the building which had an office of Cofe Impex Private Limited, a CCTV cameras and router manufacturing company," said the DCP, Outer, Sameer Sharma. Police have filed an FIR and detained the company owners, Harish Goel and Varun Goel. A special investigation team has been constituted to probe the incident.

高度易燃的材料和狭窄的通道给救援行动带来了巨大的挑战，使逃离变得困难。“火灾从大楼的一层开始，那里是Cofe Impex私人有限公司的办公室，这是一家闭路电视摄像机和路由器制造公司，”外部的DCP Sameer Sharma说。警方已立案调查，并拘留了该公司的所有者哈里什·戈埃尔和瓦伦·戈埃尔。为了调查这一事件，已经成立了一个特别调查组。

The Prime Minister's Office tweeted late at night that Rs 2 lakh would be given from the PM's National Relief Fund to the next of kin of each victim who died. The injured will receive Rs 50,000.

总理办公室深夜在推特上说，总理的国家救援基金将向每名遇难者的亲属提供20万卢比抚恤金，受伤者将获得5万卢比。

The fire broke out at the building located near pillar number 544 of the Mundka metro station around 4.30pm. The fire brigade and police were alerted around 4.40pm. The first fire tenders were caught in a traffic jam at Peeragarhi and got delayed.

火灾于下午4点30分发生在Mundka地铁站544号柱附近的大楼。消防队和警察在下午4点40分左右接到了报警。第一批消防车在Peeragarhi陷入交通堵塞，导致延误。

"More than 30 fire tenders were pressed into service to control the blaze. Amublances were made available at the spot to provide immediate medical assistance to the rescued victims," said the DCP.

DCP称：”30多辆消防车被紧急投入使用以控制火势。救护车在现场为被救的受害者提供紧急医疗援助。”

Rescue teams broke through the windows of the building to reach the people inside and rushed the injured to hospital. Over a dozen people who were injured were admitted in Dr Baba Saheb Ambedkar Hospital in Rohini and Sanjay Gandhi Memorial Hospital in Mangolpuri. The firefighting operations continued past midnight with flames still lea out of the third floor.

救援队打破了大楼的窗户，找到里面的人，并迅速将伤者送往医院。超过12名伤者被送往罗希尼的Baba Saheb Ambedkar医生医院和芒格布里的Sanjay Gandhi纪念医院。灭火工作持续到午夜，火焰仍从三楼窜出。

Very unfortunate that so many fatalities in this single fire instance. The Delhi government is to be squarely blamed for not conducting any fire audits of all the buildings, despite their promise to do so few months ago.

很不幸，在这起火灾中就有这么多人死亡。德里政府应该受到谴责，他们没有对所有建筑进行任何消防审计，尽管他们几个月前就承诺要这样做。

Nice move. If you start arresting building owners there won't be any more fires.

做得好。如果开始逮捕房主，就不会再有火灾了。

Who passed the Building Plan and Fire Safety? It's MCD under the BJP not CMO.,Those who live in Delhi know it.

谁批准了建筑规划和消防安全?是人民党领导下的MCD，而不是CMO，德里人都知道。

To avoid this type of situation inside streets must be widened to reach firefighters and ambulances so encroachments must be remove Demolition drive to be continued irrespective of religious faith If anti demolition syndicate have human sence they should not opposes demolition work not only in Delhi but I n other cities also

为了避免这种情况，我们必须拓宽街道，让消防员和救护车进入，占道的东西必须清除，不分宗教信仰，继续进行拆除。如果反拆除辛迪加有良知，他们就不应该反对拆除工作，不仅在德里，在其他城市也是如此

Wonder how building was operational with getting fire safety certificates.,As per report only one entry and ext was provided which is not as per safety norms.,There should be minimum 2 entry and ext plus emergency evacuation ext route.

想知道这栋楼是如何获得消防安全证书的。据报道，只提供了一个出入口，这并不符合安全规范，至少应有2个出入口，外加紧急疏散出口路线。

We don’t stick to fire safety norms in any building work and wake up only when there is an accident for the police to file an FIR against owners. Perhaps it is not in our blood to follow rules, as it is for just reading?!

我们不遵守消防安全规范，只有在发生事故时才醒悟，警方要对业主立案。也许我们天生就不愿遵守规则

Congest the locality by flouting very building rule, block the road through traffic, wait for the disaster and blame the Govt.

藐视建筑法规，堵塞交通，等着灾难发生，然后指责政府。

Every time when something like this happens, nobody questions the government authorities who gave permission to built such unsafe structure. Why those officers of MCD, fire department are not punished for the death of 27 people who looked the other way when building was being made?

每次发生这样的事情时，没有人会质疑允许建造这种不安全建筑的当局。为什么MCD，消防部门的官员没有因为27人死亡而受到惩罚?

Maybe it was set fire by Delhi crime gang who were against manufacturing CCTVs which was putting obstacles in their work throughout the city.

也许是德里犯罪团伙放的火，他们反对生产监控摄像头，这妨碍了他们的好事。
