What happened: the blaze that killed 25
On the night of 6–7 December 2025, a fire broke out at Birch by Romeo Lane nightclub in Arpora, North Goa. The blaze claimed 25 lives — 20 staff and 5 tourists — shocking the coastal retreat just before peak holiday season. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
Cause of fire: fireworks and flammable decor
Preliminary investigations point to indoor electronic fireworks or pyros during a “Bollywood Banger Night,” igniting highly flammable materials like bamboo, rattan and thatched roofing — rapidly turning the club into a tinderbox. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
Fatal design flaws: narrow exits and no fire clearance
The club reportedly had only a single narrow entry-exit, no proper fire-safety clearance or alarms, making escape or rescue extremely difficult once fire spread. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}
Who were the victims: staff and tourists
Among the 25 victims were 20 club employees — many working in the basement kitchen — and 5 tourists, including members of a family visiting Goa. Several died of suffocation after being trapped by smoke. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}
Emergency response hampered by poor access

Regulatory failures: ignored demolition order and safety norms
