China’s State Council on December 29 issued “an urgent notice directing local governments to draw lessons” from the Christmas night fire in central China .

The notice urged local authorities to “make every effort to ensure safety during the New Year’s Day and Spring Festival holidays .”

The fire in the city of Luoyang ,on December 25 ,which killed 309 people , “indicates that severe problems still exist in current safety work .”

Mostly killed were youths celebrating Christmas in nightclub on the fourth floor of the Dongdu Commercial Building .Most were suffocated by smoke in the dance hall that had only two emergency exits ,one hidden behind a bar .There were no sprinklers or smoke alarms .

The notice calls for “an immediate thorough check for potential causes of fire in places such as hotels ,shops ,hospitals and schools .”

Recreation centers and dance halls without safety equipment must be closed immediately ,the notice says .

Railway ,civil aviation ,shipping , and highway departments are urged to “see if their vehicles （交通工具）are in good condition and ban （禁止）overloading and excessive speeding .”

The Luoyang fire was the worst in China since February 18,1997,when 694 people died in a cinema in the western region of Xinjiang .

State media reported the Luoyang fire was caused by welders working in the building’s basement .

The unlicensed welders were employed by a Taiwanese investor identified as Dennis Co . They tried to put the fire out with water but failed and fled without raising the alarm .They were seized by police early last Wednesday .
