　×On × month × day of the year, a fire accident occurred at a iron mine. As the mine was connected to adjacent mines, the fire affected a total of 5 iron mines, leaving 123 people trapped underground. Despite extensive efforts to rescue them, the number of miners who died remains at 70. An accident investigation team was promptly established by the State Council; this team was composed of the **General Administration of Work Safety Supervision and Management, the Ministry of Supervision, the All-China Federation of Trade Unions, the Ministry of Land and Resources, and the provincial people’s governments**, and it was divided into three groups: a comprehensive group, a technical group, and a management group. Following a preliminary investigation, the State Council’s accident investigation team determined that the direct cause of the accident was as follows: a maintenance worker in the mine used welding equipment inside the shaft; hot metal fragments and welding slag fell on the brambles used to line the shaft walls, resulting in a slow-burning fire. This eventually ignited the brambles and wooden supports surrounding the shaft, as well as other flammable materials, leading to a fire underground. Five mines were operating beyond their designated boundaries, which led to the connection of various underground tunnels, disrupted airflow, and the spread of smoke from fires. None of these mines had safety passages designed for the evacuation of workers underground, as required, which directly contributed to the escalation and expansion of the accidents. 　　Based on the above scenario. Answer the following questions (14 points in total, 2 points for each question; questions 1–3 are single-choice questions, while questions 4–7 are multiple-choice questions): 1 According to the Regulations on the Reporting, Investigation, and Handling of Production Safety Accidents (State Council Order No. 493), this accident falls under (　　).
