12 Die in London Apartment Fire

伦敦公寓火灾中有12人丧生

A catastrophic fire tore through a 24-storey apartment building in West London this week, killing at least 12 people and injuring dozens. The fire broke out in the middle of the night while approximately 128 families were sleeping. Residents claimed there were no fire alarms or sprinklers, and many only realized the building was on fire when they were woken by phone calls from concerned friends and family. Over 200 fire fighters battled the blaze and rescued about 68 people from Grenfell Tower. Witnesses say a few people threw their children out windows in a desperate attempt to save them. The cause of the blaze is unknown at this time.

本周，伦敦西部一栋24层高的公寓大楼被大火吞噬，至少有12人丧生，数十人受伤。大火在半夜时分爆发，约有128户人家正处于睡眠状态。很多市民称火灾发生时，没有火警预报，也没有洒水装置，他们都是在朋友或家人打电话进来时才知道发生了火灾。有200多名消防员正在救火，并从Grenfell Tower大楼里救出了68人。目击者称有人在绝境中把孩子从窗户扔了下去，试图挽救他们。目前还未查明起火原因。
