The Lame Horse fire occurred on 5 December 2009, around 01:00 local time (18:00 UTC) in the nightclub Khromaya Loshad (Russian: «Хромая лошадь», "Lame Horse") at 9 Kuybyshev Street, Perm, Russia. The fire started when sparks from pyrotechnics ignited the low ceiling and its willow twig covering. The fire quickly spread to the walls and damaged the building's electrical wiring, causing the lights to fail.[1] This is a dual fireworks accident and nightclub fire.
156 people died as a result of the fire.[2] According to initial reports, up to 160 more were injured in the fire, many of them losing their lives in the following days in hospitals. The nightclub was in the middle of a celebration of its eighth anniversary at the time.[3][4][5] A total of 282 people had reportedly been invited to the club's anniversary party.[6]
