All the injured are undergoing medical treatment at local hospitals and a suspect has been arrested, according to local police.

Firefighters in Luoyang rushed to the Shensen Hotel two minutes after they received the report yesterday morning.

A total of 22 firefighters were sent to put out the fire and a rescue team, headed by vice-mayor, was immediately set up.

The blaze was caused by Liu Yongjie, a security warden at the hotel, who accidentally set his overcoat ablaze with a coal fire.

Liu, who was on the run after the incident, was caught by local police later yesterday.

According to Ministry of Public Security, a total of 17,000 fire accidents were reported across the country during the seven-day-long Spring Festival holiday, claiming 141 lives, and costing over 40.5 million yuan (US$4.9 million).

The number of accidents caused by residents setting off fireworks and firecrackers accounted for 41.2 per cent, large increase compared to the same period of last year, statistics revealed.
