6 Killed, 29 Hurt in Taiwan Nursing home fire

A fire that tore through a nursing home killed six people and injured another 29 in Taiwan on Wednesday. 
Television footage showed elderly people being evacuated from the facility, some in clothes blackened by smoke. 
Three bodies were found in the private nursing facility on the eighth floor of a 10-storey building in Xindian, New Taipei City, while rescuers rushed 31 people to hospital. 
Three people were later pronounced dead, while 18 were found to be suffering from serious injuries, the local fire department said. 
The fire was extinguished in around 30 minutes but the evacuation process was made more difficult by the fact that most elderly residents were bedridden or wheelchair-bound, it added. 
Authorities are looking into claims that insufficient staffing at the home had further complicated the rescue effort.
