At least 13 people are dead after a disastrous nightclub fire in Spain, and multiple others have been hospitalized. The fire took place at the Teatre nightclub in the city of Murcia, but the cause of the fire is not yet known. However, officials did find out that the nightclub lacked proper licensing and was ordered to be shut down in 2022, but the police did not enforce it and the managers got by without one. Due to this, the nightclub didn't have a capacity limit, and it may not even have had an emergency exit. Rescue crews are now rushing into action to save any survivors, and officials are working hard to discover the cause. Still, this is still the worst nightclub fire since 1990, when 43 people were killed in a fire in the northeastern city of Zaragoza.
On another note, if you live in the United States, watch out for a test of the national emergency alert system tomorrow at 2:20 pm EDT. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has expected that a test will take place tomorrow where all phones that are switched on and within reach of a cell tower will receive a screeching alarm and a message that says “THIS IS A TEST of the National Wireless Emergency Alert System. No action is needed.” Meanwhile, radios and TVs will broadcast a different message that says “This is a nationwide test of the Emergency Alert System, issued by the Federal Emergency Management Agency, covering the United States from 14:20 to 14:50 hours ET. This is only a test. No action is required by the public.” The messages on phones, radios, and televisions will run for 30 minutes, but you will be able to switch off the alarm after you receive the message.
