2.

The Lame Horse fire occurred on
December 5, 2009, around 1 a.m.
local time at 9 Kuybyshev
Street, Perm. Approximately (около)
300 people were in the club “Lame
Horse” when the fire began. Ignition
occurred when a performance artist
(участник шоу) threw cold-flame
pyrotechnics into the air. Sparks
(искры) from the fireworks
(фейерверк) hit the plastic covering
of the ceiling (потолок), igniting it.

3.

The vast intake (сильное
поглощение) of oxygen
turned the club's hall into a
large fire tube and boosted
(усилило) the spread of fire.

4.

A club visitor's report about
emergency service activity:
After I had got out, there were
no firemen or emergency service
for about twenty minutes —
nobody at all. There were only
two ambulances altogether.
They managed to take six or
seven men and left. No more
ambulance cars arrived, at least I
saw none.

5.

More than 150 people died.
According to initial reports, up to
160 more were injured in the fire;
however many of the wounded
(раненые) lost their lives in the
following days in hospitals. An
emergency services spokesman
stated most victims died
from smoke inhalation (вдыхание
дыма) and/or carbon monoxide
poisoning (отравление угарным
газом).

The fire was the deadliest in Russia since the fall of the Soviet
Union in 1991.
In conclusion I want to show you, how the hell looks like. This
video has been taken on the video registrator by one of the
eyewitnesses during the fire in Chita 13.04.2015.
So, pay more attention about the place you are going to visit, pay
more attention about things that can cause the fire. And be more
careful.
