  1. > Seven people have died, including three children, in a fire that broke out in the early hours of Thursday in the southern French city of Nice.

    > Local reports said the seven victims were all part of the same family and the children who died were aged five, seven and 10. Two people are said to have tried to escape through a window – one died and the other is in a critical condition.

    > The fire broke out on the seventh floor. Nice prosecutor Damien Martinelli told journalists that in light of initial findings, “I have opened an inquiry into acts of arson as the cause of death.”

    > Nice Mayor Christian Estrosi said the human toll of the disaster was extremely high. As well as the seven victims, another 30 people have suffered smoke inhalation.

  2. If it was arson, hopefully the perpetrators can be tracked down and disappear behind bars for life.

  3. RIP to the dead including the children. Hoping the criminals will be in prison where they belong there forever.
