SEOUL: A fire in a South Korea shopping mall killed four and injured 47 others, authorities said Sunday. Two of the four who died were builders and the others were a mall worker and a shopper. Most of the 47 injured complained of smoke inhalation. Fire authorities urged builders to follow safety regulations, noting that welding torches were blamed for past blazes. These include a Dec 2008 warehouse fire in the eastern city of Incheon that claimed eight lives and a shopping mall blaze at a bus terminal in Koyang, north of Seoul, which killed nine and injured 60.
