The investigation revealed that fire safety in residential facilities for the senior citizens is clearly worse than for the population as a whole.
Due to the primacy of the need to rescue the residents, and due to the limited resources available at the scene, effective measures to extinguish the fire at the Viljami home for the senior citizens in Maaninka were not initiated until about one hour and forty-five minutes after the fire began.
An analysis of the sequence of events has led to the conclusion that no individual measure in the rescue could have altered the course of events so significantly that all of the persons who died in the fire could have been rescued.
