A fire that swept through a privately run home for the elderly in central China killed 38 people and left much of it a charred ruin, raising concerns over the safety of facilities housing the country's rapidly aging population.

The fire broke out Monday night in the Kangleyuan Rest Home, which housed 51 residents in the city of Pingdingshan in Henan province, the province's work safety administration said in a statement.

In addition to the dozens who died, six people were injured, including two in serious condition, the statement said.
