What we know about the deadly Swiss resort bar fire
Le Constellation bar is split across two floors, and the fire appears to have started in the basement bar just before 1:30 a.m. on New Year's Day. Authorities said it quickly turned into a flashover, when the heat becomes so intense, everything inside a room ignites almost simultaneously.
