According to Reuters on September 27, citing Iraqi state media, a fire at the scene of a wedding in Iraq's Nineveh governorate has killed at least 100 people and injured 150. Local sources said the death toll was expected to rise as rescue operations continued. Nineveh Governorate is located in northwestern Iraq, bordering Syria, and contains Mosul, Iraq's second largest city.
The local fire department in Nineveh province said the fire swept through a large hall at the event site after fireworks were set off for the wedding celebrations. Iraqi state media said preliminary information indicated that the hall that started the fire was built of highly flammable building materials, causing it to collapse quickly after the fire.
Video taken by a Reuters reporter at the scene showed firefighters crawling over charred building wreckage in search of survivors.
The local government also issued a statement saying that the Iraqi federal government and the Kurdistan regional government have sent ambulances and medical personnel to the scene.
The autumn season is not only the season of harvesting the moon,
It is also the season for lovers to tie the knot,
Especially around the Mid-Autumn Festival,
On a full moon day,
It is also the first "golden day" for lovers to get married,
On such a special day,
In a special environment,
Fire prevention work should not be underestimated.
Here, the fire department reminds that
The wedding scene should always strengthen the awareness of fire prevention,
Do not use flammable and explosive materials to enhance the wedding atmosphere,
Strictly control the fire prevention to ensure the success of the wedding.
Key points of fire prevention work during weddings:
PART. ONE
01
1. Make sure that the fire safety passage at the wedding ceremony site is unblocked. Since the wedding ceremony is generally held in the hotel, the people who come to watch the ceremony are more concentrated, and under the premise of dense personnel, all fire safety passages in the hotel must be required to be unblocked to ensure that dangerous accidents can be evacuated normally.
PART. TWO

2. Do not use flammable and explosive materials to set the atmosphere at the wedding ceremony. Before the wedding ceremony, firing cannons is a custom, but as the requirements of wedding celebrations become higher and higher, many people like to set off large fireworks in the wedding celebration to set off the atmosphere, once the fireworks splash into the dense crowd is very easy to cause injuries, if the splash to the surrounding buildings is easy to cause fire accidents, try to replace with other ways.
PART. TREEE
03
3. Be cautious when using materials at the wedding ceremony decoration site. When decorating the ceremony site, do not pursue aesthetics and use materials that do not meet fire prevention standards to decorate the ceremony site, and do not use open flames to decorate the ceremony site (such as candles, electronic fireworks, etc.), so as not to cause fire accidents at the wedding ceremony site.
Weddings would have been the best moments in the world,
Be sure to pay attention to fire prevention,
Always be alert to fire hazards,
Don't let your small mistakes lead to disaster,
Make comedy tragic.
