At least 6 people are dead after a fire ripped through a hostel in New Zealand's capital.
WELLINGTON, New Zealand — A fire ripped through a hostel in New Zealand’s capital overnight, killing at least six people and forcing others to flee the four-story building in their pajamas in what a fire chief on Tuesday called his “worst nightmare.”
“I was on the top floor and I couldn’t go through the hallway because there was just too much smoke, so I jumped out the window,” Sili said.“It was just scary, it was really scary, but I knew I had to jump out the window or just burn inside the building,” Sili told RNZ.The Loafers Lodge offered basic, affordable rooms with shared lounges, kitchens and laundry facilities. It attracted people of a wide range of ages.
Residents told reporters that fire alarms would regularly sound in the building, possibly from people smoking or overly sensitive smoke monitors, so many had initially had disregarded the alert early Tuesday.
