The Comayagua prison fire was a deadly fire that occurred 14/15 February 2012 at the National Penitentiary in Comayagua, Honduras, killing 360 people. Among the dead were the spouses of inmates on conjugal visits.[2] Prisoners trapped in their cells died by burning or suffocation; dozens were "burned beyond recognition".[3] The fire in the prison started late in the evening of 14 February.[4] According to one prisoner, calls for help went out almost immediately and "for a while, nobody listened. But after a few minutes, which seemed like an eternity, a guard appeared with keys and let us out."[5] Rescue forces did not arrive until about 40 minutes later.[6]
