Comayagua prison fire

The Comayagua prison fire was a deadly fire that occurred 14/15 February 2012 at the National Penitentiary in Comayagua, Honduras, killing 360 people.〔 (In Spanish) 〕 Among the dead were the spouses of inmates on conjugal visits. Prisoners trapped in their cells died by burning or suffocation; dozens were burned beyond recognition. The fire in the prison started late in the evening of 14 February. According to one prisoner, calls for help went out almost immediately and "for a while, nobody listened. But after a few minutes, which seemed like an eternity, a guard appeared with keys and let us out."〔 Rescue forces did not arrive until about 40 minutes later.
With a death toll of 360, this is the deadliest prison fire in recorded history, the deadliest fire of any type in Central America, and one of the deadliest structural fires anywhere.
==Casualties==
There were 857 prisoners officially listed on the roster for the prison. The Comayagua prison is considered a medium security facility, but many of the inmates were being housed for serious crimes, such as murder and armed robbery.〔 Around 475 prisoners escaped from the fire, many through the roof of the facility, while 358 are missing and presumed dead.〔〔 Several prisoners jumped over the walls of the prison to escape the fire, and that was when the prison guards reportedly shot at them.〔 (In Spanish) 〕 According to firefighters, around 100 inmates burned to death or suffocated in their cells as the keys to release them could not be located.〔 Around 30 prisoners were transported to the capital to receive specialist treatment for severe burns.〔 Paola Castro, the local governor, claimed that she called the Red Cross and the firefighters, but it took them around 20 to 30 minutes to get to the prison, when most of the fire had nearly subsided.
The chief of forensic medicine for the prosecutor's office stated that it would take at least three months to identify all of the victims, mainly from DNA samples.
