Taiwanese Authorities Urge Residents to Avoid Escaping through Internal Stairs During Fires

Reported 7 months ago

In a house fire on June 13, 2024, in New Taipei City, a family of five faced challenges as the fire smoke quickly rose through the indoor staircase, leading to a tragic outcome. While the father and daughter managed to escape through a window, the mother, son, and daughter's boyfriend were found on different floors and ultimately succumbed to the smoke and heat. Authorities advise that if smoke is thick or heat is felt on the stairs during an escape, residents should not approach and instead find safety indoors, blocking smoke with towels or clothes while awaiting rescue.
