Swiss ski resort fire claims 40 lives

• Deadly blaze: About 40 people were killed and around 115 others injured in a fire at a New Year’s party in a Swiss ski resort bar, according to police. It will take days to identify all the victims, officials said.

• Alpine haven: One of Switzerland’s most exclusive locales, Crans-Montana is known for sweeping vistas stretching from the Matterhorn to Mont Blanc.

• Investigation underway: Officials are treating the tragedy as a fire, not a terror attack, a prosecutor said.

• Scenes of panic: Video from outside the Le Constellation bar shows panic in the crowd as the blaze broke out. Two witnesses told CNN affiliate BFMTV that the deadly fire was caused by sparklers placed in champagne bottles, but officials say it will take time to determine the cause.
