Description
Summary:A fire disaster took place on New Year's Eve 2003 in a small closed environment as the result of a Molotov cocktail bomb attack. Seven persons suffered burns, two of whom died and five were hospitalized. The aim of this paper is to focus on the consequences of such explosions, which are numerous and cause extensive burns with fewer though more severe injuries when they occur in a closed environment than fire disasters in an open environment.
