A further 115 people are injured, many of them &#8220;severely&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The fire broke out at around 01:30 (00:30 GMT) during new year celebrations in a bar called Le Constellation in Crans-Montana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Officials investigating the incident have not confirmed any cause, but categorically ruled out an attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">People from multiple countries have been affected. Regional police commander Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Gisler said the priority in the coming days was to identify those who had died &#8220;so that their bodies can be returned rapidly&#8221; to their families.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thirteen helicopters, 42 ambulances and 150 emergency responders were sent overnight to the scene of the fire in the Valais region, which is popular with tourists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most of the injured experienced severe burns and 60 people were sent to Sion hospital in Valais, with a &#8220;significant number&#8221; in a critical condition, Regional governor Mathias Reynard said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Its intensive care unit was at full capacity and Reynard said the local community must take extra care to avoid needing hospital treatment unnecessarily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;We are painfully aware that identifying the bodies, as well as the injured, may still take a terribly long time for the families involved,&#8221; Reynard added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some people have been taken to hospitals in other Swiss cities including Lausanne and Zurich which have specialist burns units.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A spokesperson for Lausanne University Hospital said they were treating 22 patients with burn injuries, while Zurich University Hospital said it was treating 12 patients for burns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some patients were transferred to Geneva University Hospitals where they were being treated for severe, &#8220;third degree&#8221; burns, and were &#8220;very young&#8230; between 15 and 25 years old&#8221;, Dr Robert Larribau told the BBC&#8217;s World Tonight programme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;The fire broke out so intensely that burns can be internal. People breathed toxic smoke into the lungs,&#8221; Dr Larribau said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The president of the UK Association of Fire Investigators, Richard Hagger, described the &#8220;flashover&#8221; effect believed to have made the blaze so deadly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;You&#8217;ll start with a fire, the flames and the thermal radiation will go to the ceiling level and mushroom out across,&#8221; he told The World Tonight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;That thermal radiation then travels downwards on to other fuel packages, such as furniture, tables, raises the temperature to the point when they thermally decompose and produce flammable gas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;And then that gas ignites, but it ignites at a fairly rapid rate. So the room, in effect, becomes a full room on fire within a matter of seconds.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Italian Foreign Ministry told the BBC that 16 Italian nationals were currently missing, and between 12 and 15 others were receiving treatment in hospital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The French foreign ministry said eight of its citizens were missing and that it could not rule out that French nationals were among the dead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">French media reported that at least two of the injured were French nationals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Three Italian nationals were being evacuated to Milan&#8217;s Niguarda hospital where there was a major burns unit, Italian councillor Guido Bertolaso said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They have burns across &#8220;30-40% of their bodies&#8221;, he told reporters, and they remained intubated, but &#8220;the fact they could be moved is a good sign&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The precise number of dead and injured is not yet known, nor their nationalities but officials have confirmed that several nationalities were involved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Speaking at a press conference on Thursday evening, officials said they did not know how many people were in the bar when the fire broke out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">State councillor St\u00e9phane Ganzer described the bar as having a &#8220;young festive population&#8221; during the New Year&#8217;s Eve party.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Attorney General Beatrice Pilloud has said an investigation was under way &#8220;to identify the circumstances which caused this dramatic situation to occur&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She was asked by journalists at the press conference about rumours that bottles of champagne carrying flares might have been the cause of the blaze, and whether the staircases were &#8220;very narrow&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She replied that she could not confirm anything while the investigation is ongoing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ms Pilloud said the staircases did appear to be narrow, but investigations would assess whether they were in line with requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She said &#8220;several hypotheses&#8221; for the cause of the blaze have been put forward, and the favoured theory was a &#8220;general fire which caused conflagration&#8221; &#8211; a large fire that causes a lot of damage, rather than an explosion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Several witnesses have been interviewed, she said, and phones have also been recovered for analysis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;At no time is there question of any attack&#8221;, she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Work was ongoing to identify the victims and return bodies to families as quickly as possible, Ms Pilloud said, adding: &#8220;To do that there is significant work which needs to be carried out. And this significant work will require the closure of the district.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Italian ambassador to Switzerland, Gian Lorenzo Cornado, said it would take weeks to identify the dead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A helpline has been set up for families: +41 848 112 117<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The fire was &#8220;one of the worst tragedies that our country has experienced,&#8221; Swiss President Guy Parmelin told reporters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Local people gathered to pay tribute to the dead and injured at a vigil at Montana Station Church on Thursday evening, and floral tributes were laid near the scene of the fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Crans-Montana is a luxury ski resort, famous in the 1980s for hosting the World Cup skiing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Le Constellation, which has been around for decades, has an upstairs with TV screens where people go and watch football matches, and a large bar downstairs for drinking and dancing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The UK Foreign Office said its &#8220;thoughts are with all those injured and killed in the terrible tragedy&#8221; and consular staff were on standby to provide support to any British nationals affected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">King Charles said he and his wife Queen Camilla were &#8220;greatly saddened&#8221; to learn of the fire, and that it was &#8220;utterly heartbreaking that a night of celebration for young people and families instead turned to such nightmarish tragedy&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">French President Emmanuel Macron said France was receiving the injured from Crans-Montana to its hospitals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said the EU was working with Swiss authorities to get medical help to victims through the EU&#8217;s civil protection mechanism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n                <p><strong>DISCLAIMER: <\/strong>The Views, Comments, Opinions, Contributions and Statements made by Readers and Contributors on this platform do not necessarily represent the views or policy of Multimedia Group Limited.<\/p>      \n             \n <!-- Post Tags -->\n                <p>&#13;\n                    <span style=\"font-weight: 900\"> Tags: \u00a0<\/span>                 <\/p>\n\n                        \n                    \n                         \n                        <p><strong>DISCLAIMER: <\/strong>The Views, Comments, Opinions, Contributions and Statements made by Readers and Contributors on this platform do not necessarily represent the views or policy of Multimedia Group Limited.<\/p> \n                 \n\n        \n    \n                                                 \n                                        \n                    <\/div>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Around 40 people have died after a fire ripped through a bar in a ski resort in southern Switzerland, police have said.
