List of nightclub fires
This is a list of notable nightclub fires at indoor and outdoor venues. Deadly nightclub fires often attribute to pyrotechnic failures, hence some of the list also feature in the list of fireworks accidents and incidents. The combination of large groups of people, limited means of evacuation, pyrotechnics, and highly combustible materials has been described as a "lethal mixture".
