Indeed. It's likely that insufficient fire code made this much worse, given what the article says.

Civil defense officials quoted by the Iraqi News Agency described the wedding hall’s exterior as decorated with a highly flammable type of “sandwich panel” cladding that is illegal in the country.

There's probably going to be a fire if someone fire flares indoor. But following the fire code can go a long way toward saving time, avoiding deaths. Multiple things went wrong to get such a disaster.
