Outdoor flares cost a lot less, says lead investigator

(NEWSER) – Just when you thought the Brazil nightclub fire story couldn't get any gloomier comes this revelation: It appears the blaze that killed more than 230 can be pinned on the band's desire to save a few bucks. The lead inspector in the case told the media yesterday that Gurizada Fandangueira intentionally and regularly bought flares meant for outdoor use—because they cost $1.25 apiece, versus $35 for an indoor flare. "The flare lit was for outdoor use only, and the people who lit them know that. They chose to buy those because they were cheaper than those that can be used indoors."
