Forcing others to flee the four-story building in their pajamas in what a fire chief on Tuesday called his “worst nightmare.”
WELLINGTON, New Zealand — A fire ripped through a hostel in New Zealand’s capital overnight, killing at least six people and forcing others to flee the four-story building in their pajamas in what a fire chief on Tuesday called his “worst nightmare.”
Hipkins said the building was not currently safe for police to enter and it could take authorities some time to confirm the number of dead. Other residents told reporters that fire alarms would regularly sound in the building, possibly from people smoking or overly sensitive smoke monitors, so many had initially thought it was another false alarm.
