rooster59 Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 No proper exit in Polish 'escape room' where blaze killed five: fire brigade Police officers are seen at the site of a fire which broke out in an escape room in Koszalin, Poland January 4, 2019.

Agencja Gazeta/Cezary Aszkielowicz/via REUTERS WARSAW (Reuters) - Five teenage girls killed by a fire in an "escape room" attraction in Poland might have survived if there had been a proper evacuation route, a senior firefighter said on Saturday. In "escape rooms", participants are locked in a room and race against the clock to solve puzzles and challenges to open a way out. The girls killed in Koszalin, in northern Poland, on Friday were taking part in a birthday treat. One other person was being treated for burns. “The tragedy occurred primarily due to the lack of an effective evacuation route,” said Leszek Suski, head of the state firefighting service, according to the PAP news agency. A local prosecutor told reporters the fire had probably been caused by an escape of gas near the heating system boiler. PAP said scores of escape rooms across Poland would now be inspected for safety. Escape rooms first became popular in Asia, and have spread across North America and Europe. -- © Copyright Reuters 2019-01-06 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
