    • Abstract:
      The article discusses an incident in which nine students were killed in Moscow, Russia by a fire in the school building. According to the article, the school building did not have enough fire exits due to the hiring out of the building for offices as an attempt to improve its financial situation. An official from the Moscow fire department, Taras Ryantsev, explains that because the private school was suffering financially, the building's safety regulations were not up to standards, which included a lack of smoke detector alarms. The article also notes that the cause of the fire is being investigated.
