In Pingdingshan, China a fire erupted in a retirement home. The fire was fatal to 38 of the residents, and caused major injuries to 8 residents. The community was home to abut 100 residents at the time of the fire.
The exact cause of the fire is still under investigation. Residents believe it to be a mechanical malfunction. China's rapidly growing population and lengthening life-span of the elderly is causing china to create more retirement homes for their residents.
Furthermore, a similar incident happened in 2013. A fire at a retirement home in China, killed 11 residents. It was declared to be arson, set by one of the residents that died in the flames.
