The 2014 Lahore market fire was a fire that broke out on 29 December 2014 in a shopping mall named Khalid Plaza located in Urdu Bazar area of Lahore, Pakistan. The cause was identified as a short circuit. The fire killed at least 13 people, with two injured.[2][3]
The fire[edit]
A short circuit at a shop sparked a fire in the three-story shopping center at the Anarkali bazaar. The shopping centre had no firefighting equipment and facilities and no emergency exits were available, causing suffocation when people tried to flee through a single exit. Most of the 13 killed in the incident died as a result of this suffocation.[2]
