Read the text and answer question 01, 02 and 03.

At least six people have lost their lives following a fire at the Loafers Lodge hostel in
Wellington, New Zealand.
The fire started in the early hours of the morning and more than 50 people were rescued
from the building. However, 11 people were still unaccounted for and the police feared that the
number of fatalities would rise. The cause of the fire is unknown; however, authorities suspect that
it may have been a deliberate act. The building’s sprinklers didn’t work and it is unclear if the fire
alarms were functioning properly. Fire and Emergency New Zealand are treating the fire as
suspicious. The building contained asbestos, which poses a danger to people who inhale its
particles.
The hostel was used as emergency accommodation and catered to both short and long-term
guests. Some of its residents were shift workers, while others were homeless or had been deported
from Australia.
