【滬江小編】火災無情,小編提醒大家在平時要注意火災隱患,冬季干燥,小心用火用電,預防火災更重要。

火災發(fā)生地大排檔(food stall)由于攤位密集,火勢才會迅速蔓延。

聽到火災警報(fire alarm/warning)不要驚慌,迅速撤離到空曠的安全地帶。

大火燃燒五小時尚未被熄滅(the fire has not been extinguished),造成嚴重人員傷亡和財產損失。

目前人員傷亡(casualties)數字不斷上升,死亡人數(death count )增至8人。

事故原因(accident cause)目前尚未查明,有關部門應該做好受災人員搶救和安置工作。
