A flare, the main cause of a fire in a Swiss bar on New Year's Day
For the time being, it is not clear how many people were in the premises, but several witnesses have pointed out that by the time the fire occurred, some bottles of xanpain were on, and they have lamented that the only entrance was very narrow.
According to the investigation, it was a flare that set fire to a bar inthe Swiss ski resort of Crans Montana on New Year's Day. According to the latest data,thereare about 50 dead and more than 100 injured , most of them serious.
It is commonin this establishment for flares to be lit in bottles of champagne as a symbol of joy and prosperity. Often sparks reach the ceiling, as the workers raise that bottle with one hand as they walk on someone else's back, thus accumulating very high temperatures in a few minutes.
For the time being, the authorities investigating the incident do not know how many people werein local at the time, but several witnesses have indicated that there was a long queue to enter, which means that at the time of the incident it was crowded.
Besides, the only outlet outside the venue where the party was held was the sand-clock-shaped staircase bat , wide at the ends, but rather narrow in the middle, which made it considerably difficult to evacuate the bar quickly.
Several witnesses have confirmed that several bottles of A0xanpain with flares were on by the time the fire occurred, and have lamented that the only entrance was very narrow: "Two children could pass at the same time, but not two adults. "
