Gothenburg discothèque fire
The Gothenburg discothèque fire was a devastating fire caused by an arson attack on October 29, 1998, which occurred in premises located on Hisingen island in Gothenburg, Sweden. These had been rented for the night by an organization catering to the Macedonian community in Gothenburg for the purpose of hosting a discothèque. 375 young people aged 12–25 years old were present in the premises at the time that the fire started, the vast majority of which had various ethnic minority backgrounds. The premises had been estimated by the fire department as safe for only 150 people. 63 people were killed during the incident and around 200 people were injured.
==The fire==
The fire started on the premises of the Macedonian organization on the third floor, where a discothèque for high school students had been arranged to celebrate Halloween.〔 National Fire Protection Association. Retrieved on April 3, 2008〕 It was set in a stairway serving the club's emergency exit. As a result, the emergency exit was blocked, and a single stairway became the only available escape route. Many young people were forced to jump out windows to safety, but since these were above floor level and above ground level outside the building, many were injured in the process.〔(P3 dokumentär )〕〔''Sirenen'' no. 6, September 2008〕 Furthermore, fire safety standards were generally poor at the site.
The first emergency call arrived at 23:42, but due to the background noise, it was some time before the operator could understand what the caller was trying to say. At 23:45 a so-called "major call-out" took place from a fire station on the island, and four minutes later the first rescue team arrived on the scene. Six other fire crews were dispatched a short time afterwards. About 60 young people were rescued by firefighters with self-contained breathing apparatus, 40 of which were led down the staircase and 20 carried out through the windows. Others managed to escape on their own.〔
