💨 Abstract

The recent fire at the Rituraj Hotel in Kolkata's Burrabazar claimed 14 lives, mostly guests from various states. The fire, which started in a room without firefighting provisions, quickly spread due to a lack of safety checks and inoperative firefighting mechanisms. The incident has been compared to the 2010 Stephen Court fire and the 2011 AMRI Hospital blaze.
