Police say the dead were found in the Fonda nightclub, one of three adjoining clubs, which had sustained the majority of fire damage, including the collapse of its roof.

The authorities have not given any explanation of the cause of the blast.

Preliminary information indicates that the building was made of highly flammable construction materials, contributing to its rapid collapse.

Several regions have been given high fire danger ratings as authorities warned high winds could whip up bushfires and urged residents to minimise fire risks at their houses.

It took six hours for military forces and firefighters to contain the blaze.

The 25-hectare landfill is a waste hub for its surrounding cities and areas, including Bandung, one of Indonesia's most populous cities.

The province of British Columbia has declared a state of emergency, to access temporary authoritative powers to tackle fire-related risks.

The deadly fires have killed at least 110 people.

The fire started at an auto repair shop on the roadside of a highway in Dagestani capital Makhachkala and caused blasts as it spread to a nearby gas station, officials say.

The death toll makes the blaze Hawaii's worst natural disaster, surpassing a tsunami that killed 61 people in 1960, a year after Hawaii became a US state.

Ten aerial units and 300 firefighters on the ground sought to bring the wildfire under control on the island, which forms part of a Spanish archipelago off the coast of western Africa.

Reports say the fire was extinguished very quickly but produced fumes that intoxicated a lot of residents.
