Dozens dead in fire at Swiss Alps bar on New Year’s celebration
Dozens dead in fire at Swiss Alps bar on New Year’s celebration over 100 Tourists and visitors are injured at Alps in Switerzland.
This Police announcement follows a fire at a Swiss Alps bar during a New Year’s celebration.
This tragedy has happened in Swtizerland this Thursday and the majority of the victims are critical.
According to Frédéric Gisler, the police chief for Valais Canton, “many tens of people” were murdered at the tavern Le Constellation.
Although efforts are being made to identify the fatalities and notify their families, Gisler states that “that will take time and for the time being it is premature to give you a more precise figure.”
The Valais Canton’s attorney general, Beatrice Pilloud, states that it is too early to identify the fire’s cause.
As of yet, experts are unable to enter the wreckage.
Pilloud further says, “There is never a question of any kind of attack.”
Authorities refer to the fire as a “embrasement généralisé.”
A firefighting term that describes how a fire can cause the release of flammable gases that can subsequently ignite violently and result in what firefighters who speak English would refer to as a backdraft or flashover.
