The fire occurred in Enghelab Elementary Girl School in Shinabad, a village near the city of Piranshahr, after an oil heater exploded.

According to one report, the local representative to the Iranian parliament has called on the minister of education to resign and take responsibility for a disaster caused by the school’s hazardous heating system.
