The 2010 Shanghai fire[Note 1] was a fire on 15 November 2010 that destroyed a 28-story high-rise apartment building in the heart of Shanghai, China, killing at least 58 people[3][4] and injuring more than 70 others[5] (with at least one source reporting more than 120 others injured).[6] Most of the residents were retired state school senior educators.[7] It is remembered as an iconic high-rise fire in China in the 2010s.[7]

An investigation under the PRC State Council was announced on 16 November, the day after the fire, to determine the cause of the blaze.[8] A preliminary finding by investigators concluded that sparks from welding work being done on the building, undertaken by unlicensed welders, ignited scaffolding around the structure, which led to the apartments' destruction.[9] The municipal government also placed the blame on illegal multi-layered subcontracting,[10] and detained four managers from several construction companies.[11] In all, sixteen[12] individuals have been arrested in connection to the fire, as well as four others accused of being unlicensed welders.[9]

The week after the fire, city officials announced a compensation plan for victims of the fire and their families.[13] The fire also prompted the government to pass stricter regulations on the construction industry,[14][15] as well as increased fire safety inspections.[16] The New York Times reported that China suppressed several building complaints,[17] and several journalists were detained after the fire. The Asia Times wrote that an alleged slow response by the government was criticized.[18]
