SARAJEVO, Bosnia-Herzegovina (AP) — Bosnian officials said
Wednesday that at least 11 people died and more than 30 were
injured in a fire in a retirement facility that broke out the
evening before in Bosnia.
It was not clear what caused the fire on the 7th floor (U.S. 8th
floor) of the building in Tuzla on Tuesday evening. Bosnian
media reported that higher floors in the complex were occupied
by elderly people who could not move on their own or were ill.
Tuzla mayor Zijad Lugavic said firefighters and rescue workers
were among the injured, and that authorities were holding an
emergency meeting on Wednesday to assess the situation.
Ruza Kajic, who lives at the third floor, said she had gone to
bed when she heard “popping sounds” and saw flames falling from
upper floors.
