Jan 20, 2025, 08:41 AM
A fire at a nursing home in the Barajevo suburb of Belgrade, Serbia, resulted in the deaths of eight residents and injuries to seven others. The incident occurred in the early hours of Monday, with the fire breaking out around 3:30 a.m. local time. Serbian authorities are investigating the possibility that the fire was deliberately set, with some reports suggesting it might have been caused by an individual setting a mattress alight. The facility, which housed approximately 30 residents, had all necessary permits and complied with fire safety regulations, according to the Serbian Minister of Labor, Employment, and Social Affairs, Nemanja Starovic. Thirteen residents were safely evacuated from the home, and the injured were taken to medical facilities in Belgrade for treatment.
