Investigations into the fire revealed inadequate fire protection and safety systems within the school, which contributed to the loss of life.
And when was this school build? Probably in the 19 century. Kinda like driving model T and being hit by 58 Oldsmobile. Naturally th model t was built to different standard which was adequate in 1920's but in 1958 it was death trap. Same for old schools vs next generation.
