A fire at the Eventide Home for the Aged in Kingston, Jamaica on 20 May 1980 killed 157 people. The building that burnt down was overcrowded and had previously been described as a "tinder box." After fire broke out early on the morning of the 20th, the building burnt quickly. There were accusations that arson had been involved, but nothing has been proven. Several remembrances of the fire have taken place in the years since.
