Two Indian nurses gave their lives while trying to save patients in the massive fire in a hospital in the eastern Indian city Kolkata Friday, reported Press Trust of India Saturday. Two young nurses from Kerala, southern India, in the fire- ravaged AMRI Hospital saved eight patients before they died while trying to rescue another patient, said the report. Remya and Vineetha, both 24, pulled out eight of the nine patients in the noxius smoke-filled female ward. When they had gone up to save the ninth patient, who had suffered a fracture, succumbed to the smoke and heat, said the report. Ninety people died in the fire, most of them suffocating to death in the toxic and heavy smoke. Known for warm-heartedness of its people, Kerala is the cradle of Indian nurses who work all over the country and abroad.
