Ballantynes Fire

 Hey everyone,

Welcome back to my Blog, today we are learning about the Ballantynes fire, I hope you enjoy!

I think this disaster is about a fire on Nov 18th 1974, 

I want to find out what caused the fire and if there was a death toll how long did it take to put the fire out.

1. People were served by waitress and expensive clothes, it was a designer store
2. Ballantynes is located in Christchurch
3. The fire started at 3:46 P.M on November 18th 1974
4. They had no smoke alarms and they no evaluation plans, people downstairs thought it was a small Cellar fire so didn't tell the upstairs people
5. 41 Workers died in the fire, 2 people jumped from a veranda they were unconscious but okay 
6. No smoking inside, don't walk away even if it's small, they have smoke alarms now.

This is the video
Worst fire in history, 
4:00 in the afternoon
300 worked here
The army and and air forces helped the firemen with crowd control
They pumped water for 4 hours using 36 massive hoses

This next video wasn't useful, it was too long and hard to hear.

Here is my poster for this weeks activity
