Two people have died while more than 50 others have been injured in a fire in a nursing home for dementia patients in the Czech Republic.
A spokesperson for the emergency services said on Thursday that the two people killed were discovered during the final stage of the rescue work.
The Mayor of the city, Jan Jakob, referred to the incident as a major catastrophe. This is as the fire broke out for an unknown reason at the facility in Roztoky, north of Prague.
The residents of the building had to be rescued from their rooms through the windows using ladders.
Rescue forces were on the scene with a large contingent, including two helicopters and a large-capacity ambulance.
It was claimed that about 100 firefighters were able to extinguish the fire which took more than eight hours to bring under control.
