A fire in China’s Jiangxi province kills at least 39 people, state media says

BEIJING (AP) — Chinese state media say at least 39 people died and nine others were injured when a fire broke out at a commercial building in southeastern Jiangxi province. State broadcaster CCTV reported that local authorities said that the fire broke out Wednesday afternoon. The building houses an internet cafe in the basement and tutoring centers on upper floors. Local government officials were deployed to the scene in addition to first responders. The cause of the fire is under investigation. The blaze comes just days after 13 children died in a fire at a school dormitory in central Henan province over the weekend.
