Sub: Report on the fire accident
With reference to the accident that look took place a couple a days ago in our college ladies hostel, the following report is submitted after a thorough analysis of the facts. On the 25th February 2015, a fire broke out around 02:00 pm in the ladies hostel. It experienced a tragic fire accident caused by leakage of electricity. It spread so quickly that it is engulfed a vast area consuming a large number of clothes and other materials which is kept in the Hostel. The laundry nearby started to burn due to that leakage and the fire spread to the floors on top. Students who were in the top floors were studying for exams and so everyone was inside the room. Some of the rooms were suffocated due to lot of smoke and everyone in that building were alerted and escaped safely. Moreover, the two girl students in the top floor sustained burn injuries were unable to come out of the room.
The firemen were summoned immediately and saved the two girls from further injuries. The fire extinguished after one hour. The two girl students were taken to the nearby hospital with severe burn injuries. The doctors diagnosed them and declared that they were already dead. Further, the doctor told that they were already afflicted with asthma and they were killed by smoke and severe fire injuries.
Under investigations, it is found that the fire broke out because of a short circuit in the switch box. As all the fittings in the rooms were in operation, the fire chanced to spread very fast. This devastating fire accident has resulted in a loss of two girl students and a lakh of rupees.
The worn out wiring should be immediately replaced and checked at regular intervals for leakages
It is extremely necessary to install more fire extinguishers at vantage points
Proper fuses must be installed to avoid the excess flow of current
Students should be trained to handle the electric components safely along with fire extinguishers
Fire alarms should be installed in Ladies Hostel, since a lot of students are available in the hostel
If the above measures are implemented forthwith, such accidents can be prevented in future and thereby great loss to property and human can be averted.
Thank you,
