Reuters is reporting that a nursing home in Nashville which was 4 stories in height caught ablaze last night killing 7. What makes this even sadder is that there was no sprinkler system in the building.

Investigators are still trying to determine the cause of the fire.

That's sad!

This nursing home was built in the mid 1960's, back when sprinkler systems unfortunately weren't required in buildings.

From Channel 4 - NBC affiliate in Nashville:

8 now dead and I sad story I also heard (I haven't read Breeze's article yet...it might be in there) that one of the fire chiefs who responded to the scene found his own mother among the victims. That is so sad.
