Six firemen were killed- AFP
Six young firemen were killed on Tuesday (Jan 20) as they battled a blaze engulfing a bowling alley in northern Taiwan, officials said.
The men, all in their 20s, were trapped and killed in a "sudden burst of flames", which caused the partial collapse of the building in Taoyuan county. Fire had broken out in the early hours of the morning, when the venue was shut. Around 90 firefighters had been sent to the scene and two workers were rescued uninjured, the Taoyuan fire department said.
"There was a lot of smoke - we decided that (our firemen) should stop going in and requested our colleagues to pull out, but they did not have time to evacuate during a sudden burst of flames," said fire department official Shih Shou-yang.
Taoyuan mayor Cheng Wen-tsan told reporters that the cause of the fire was under investigation and expressed his sadness over the loss of the firemen. "Great sadness. Six firemen unfortunately died in the line of duty," Cheng wrote on his Facebook page.

What is it like to witness a bank robbery? quora.com
I worked in banks and credit unions for 30 years. I always had a fear of being robbed and wondered how my reaction would be. In 2005, I found out. I was behind the desk in a glass enclosed office looking straight at the tellers. I had a gentleman sitting across from me. He asked me a question, which needed verification and I picked up the phone to call someone. As I put the phone to my ear, I heard someone yelling, "Put the phone down or she dies." I looked at the tellers and a man had a gun pointed at a teller's head. I slowly laid the phone down and sat as still as I could. Very quietly, under my breath I said, "We're being robbed." to the man across from me. He had his back to the robber and was trying to stay calm but wasn't succeeding. He was wringing his hands and saying, "Oh my God" over and over. I couldn't believe how calm I was staying. It was as if I was telling myself, "stay really still and you'll be invisible" The tellers were filling up the robber's bag and he left without harming anyone. As soon as he left, we locked the door. My manager had been pushing a button on her desk to call the police, so they were there pretty soon. Our office was closed the rest of the day and none of us were allowed to leave. The FBI came and interviewed each of us. We had always been trained in what to do if we were ever robbed. We all did very well in carrying out our instructions. The man was never caught for this crime. The police did tell my manager later that they thought the man who robbed us had been incarcerated for another crime.
Robbery Prevention Tips
How Can I Protect Myself?
· Stay with the crowd — there is safety in numbers.
· Women should carry their wallet in their pocket, not their purse.
· If you carry a purse, carry it close to your body, like a football player carries a football. Do not place the strap across your body or over your shoulder. When the robber grabs your purse, you may be pulled along with the robber until the strap breaks and you are injured.
· Men should consider carrying two wallets, one of them filled with cut up paper. Most robbers are not going to go through the wallet until they have fled to safety.
· Be cautious when wearing "flashy" jewelry.
· Be conscious of people just "hanging around" anywhere, especially near pay phones, public rest rooms, building entrances and garages.
· Notify the police of strangers who are hanging around your home, apartment or place of business for no apparent reason.
· Take the profit out of robbery by not carrying large sums of money, or credit cards on your person whenever possible.
