( 2003-09-03 15:59) (China Daily)
Three saleswomen died in a fire at a Shantou store early yesterday morning,
reports China News Service.
The women were believed to have been sleeping on the second floor of the
store at Zhongshan Road when the fire broke out at about 3 am.
The windows, barred against theft, as well as corridors blocked up by goods,
would have made it difficult for the women to escape even if they had detected
the fire, said firefighters.
The cause of the blaze is being investigated.
