Residents in the Urals city of Perm are bringing flowers on Sunday to the scene of a deadly nightclub fire that killed at least 112 and injured over 120 people.

The tragedy occurred on the night of December 4-5 during a party to celebrate the Lame Horse club's eighth anniversary when an indoor fireworks display started a fire that consumed most of the 500-square-meter venue.

Candles have been lit around the club while people are approaching the scene and laying flowers, mainly carnations. Photos with the victims of the nightclub fire have also been placed at the site.

Many victims were trapped and choked on smoke as they attempted to escape through the club's single exit.

Over 120 were injured in the nightclub fire, with 98 people with severe burns and injuries delivered to Russia's best burn treatment centers and hospitals in Moscow, St. Petersburg and Chelyabinsk in the Urals. As many as 26 people in grave though stable condition were staying at Perm hospitals, the emergencies service said.

President Dmitry Medvedev has declared Monday a day of national mourning for the victims of the nightclub fire disaster.
