In Bosnia, two people in charge are now in custody. They're being questioned about a fire that happened in a home for elderly people. This place was in Tuzla, a town in the northeast. The fire started on November 4. It happened on the seventh floor. There were 180 older adults living there.
The fire was very bad. It killed 17 people. Ten died that night from breathing in smoke. Seven more died later. Many others got hurt. The fire started because of a short circuit. It happened in one of the resident's rooms.
The people in charge are being blamed. They didn't put in place good fire safety measures. They also didn't have enough staff or security systems. These things could have helped people get out faster. The officials are being questioned. They might be charged with serious crimes. These crimes are against public safety.
The investigation is still going on. More decisions will be made after the questioning. This is a big deal. It shows how important safety is, especially for older adults.
