As a parent, this is my worst nightmare. Schools need to have better fire safety protocols in place. 30 minutes to put out the fire seems too long when children's lives are at stake.

While I'm relieved the injuries seem minor, I wonder why we're getting so many details about Pawan Kalyan's son when 19 others were injured too? All children's safety matters equally.

Singapore has excellent emergency response systems. If it took 30 minutes to control, this must have been a serious fire. Hope they find the cause soon to prevent future incidents.
