"The fire at the scene that night was not big."
Changle city officials said that they did not know how to save themselves and escape, which led to disaster.
At about 3: 00 am on February 1, the reporter saw at the scene of the fire that the police pulled up a cordon near the "Latin" bar. The corner of the bar door was exposed with traces of heavy smoke, and the air was filled with a thick scorching smell. The police are conducting intense evidence collection work in the bar.
The relevant person in charge of Changle Municipal Government said at the press conference that when firefighters arrived at the "Latin" bar within fou r minutes after receiving the police, they found that the fire area of the bar with a building area of 198 square meters was only 30 square meters, and it took firefighters only ten minutes to put out the open fire at the scene. These situations show that the fire at the scene was not big that night, but people were in a state of panic at that time, and they didn’t know how to save themselves and escape when the disaster came, which led to great disaster.

■ experience personally
"Everyone panicked and huddled together."
A survivor said that when the incident occurred, the smoke was rolling and it was a mess.
At 3: 30 am on February 1st, Li Ming, who is in his twenties, has not fully recovered from the panic more than three hours ago. Fortunately, he escaped this robbery. When the fire broke out, he and his friends were spending money in the Latin bar.
According to Li Ming’s memory, the fire started from the ceiling around 12 o’clock that night, and it spread quickly, and people rushed out of the room in droves. "We all panicked and didn’t know where to go. Everyone was huddled together."
Yesterday morning, in the First Hospital of Fuzhou, a bartender who was being treated said that the fire was caused by a group of high school students who were celebrating a girl’s birthday. At 11 o’clo ck, they set off fireworks on the table. At first, the staff didn’t realize the danger. When the third fireworks were put on, the sparks jumped to the ceiling and ignited the wires. Because the ceiling was made of plastic foam, the fire quickly spread in the venue.
