💨 Abstract

A deadly fire at a bar in Crans-Montana, Switzerland, during New Year celebrations left 40 dead and 119 injured. The blaze, likely caused by sparklers igniting ceiling insulation, has led to an investigation into the bar's safety measures and potential criminal liability. Many injured are in critical condition, and officials are examining the bar's renovation history and emergency exits. The bar is not owned by Vail Resorts, which recently acquired the ski station.
