The fire at the Stardust discotheque in Dublin on

St. Valentine’s night in 1981 was, at the time, one
of the worst disasters of its kind ever seen in
Europe. It was 2.00 am in the morning and 841 young
people were getting ready for the last dance before
setting off home.
Suddenly the DJ noticed that a small fire had
broken out in the corner of the dance hall .He
thought that somebody’s cigarette had started a
small fire, but as it hadn’t set off the fire
alarms he didn’t take any notice.
Within moments the entire hall in the heart of
Dublin’s Artane working-class suburb was on fire.
The enormous ceiling began to melt in the intense
heat and as the lights went out there was a wild
stampede to escape the burning inferno.
Forty-six people were killed and 130 injured,
some of them very badly, before the fire -fighters
were able to break into the club and put the fire
out.
In the Stardust the curtains were inflammable,
the tables were made of plywood with plastic tops.
The chairs were made of red plastic which gave off
lethal black smoke. Some of the emergency doors
were locked to prevent people from getting in
without paying, as were the windows in the toilets.
For over four years prior to this disaster
regulations to ban certain materials from use in
discotheques had been under discussion,
Ironically,new laws came into effect ten days after
the Stardust fire.
