[NewsWhore]

Nine people died at Jazzy's Elite strip club on Avenida Espana in the early hours of Monday morning. A short circuit in the breakers caused by overheating cables resulted in an explosion followed by a fire. According to the fire department, this incident has highlighted a serious problem in these types of establishments. Fire officials quoted in Listin Diario said that of the 300 nightclubs of this type in the National District, only two meet the necessary safety requirements. The fire, which killed three men and six women, happened at 3 in the morning and police confirm that the nine victims died of asphyxiation and were found on the second floor of the building. Santo Domingo prosecutor Perfecto Acosta said that the nightclub doubled as a brothel and that some of the women slept at the establishment. Preliminary inspections revealed that some doors were locked and that the club didn't even have smoke extractors.
