Devastating Fire at Swiss Ski Resort Kills 40

A devastating fire at a Swiss ski resort during a New Year’s Eve celebration has led to the death of 40 people, with more than 100 others injured. The fire engulfed a crowded bar where party-goers were welcoming the new year. Witnesses suggest the fire may have been triggered by sparklers in champagne bottles, but the exact cause is still under investigation. Amid the rapidly spreading flames and panic, survivors described scenes of chaos and desperation. Most of the injured have suffered burns and smoke inhalation, with nearby hospitals put on emergency footing to handle the surge in patients. Authorities are now investigating fire safety measures, crowd capacity, and the potential role of flammable materials in the rapid spread of the fire. The area remains cordoned off as forensic teams continue their work. Officials have promised further updates as victims are identified and the cause of the fire established.
