The Pennsylvania home day care where five children died in a fire early Sunday wasn't inspected by state or local authorities for smoke detectors because of loopholes in regulations, officials say

The Harris Family Daycare in Erie, where a blaze killed four siblings and a child of the owner, apparently didn't have enough smoke detectors, Erie Fire Chief Guy Santone said. Investigators located only one in the house, he said; it was in the attic. State regulations indicate there should have been one on each floor of the two-story home. Pennsylvania's Department of Human Services carried out the yearly safety inspections at the facility.

"When they do their inspections, they don't inspect for smoke detectors. They don't inspect for fire extinguishers. They inspect for things like cleanliness, make sure that there's nothing laying around that a child can choke on, things of that nature," Santone said of the DHS, speaking at a press conference Tuesday."That has to stop." Eight people were on the second floor of the house when the fire broke out around 1:15 a.m.

Firefighter was father to 3 of 5 children killed in day-care fire in PennsylvaniaA day care center where children could stay overnight as their parents worked was ravaged Sunday by a fire that killed five and sent the owner to the hospital, authorities said. Officials said that a volunteer firefighter was the father of three of the five children who died in the blaze. Something really useful. I'm sure the political authorities are either state or federal will send funds to get a temporary place for these kids until they rebuild the facility.

Every thing is OK in Jammu and Kashmir on the occasion of EidAdhaMubarak ... but BBCWorld is spreading fake news against India. It was the Indian Constitution that decided enough time had been given for autonomy and decided to remove it. An internal decision, nothing wrong with it. As far as crackdown, when you're surrounded by crackpots who want to unleash terror, you're bound to be xtra careful. Modi's Nazi vision will further escalate rebellion among Kashmiris. The criminal silence of the whole world will be written in history.
