Cran-Montana Admits to Lapses in Safety Checks at Fatal Club

The Cran-Montana community has admitted to omissions in carrying out regular safety and fire inspections at the "Le Constellation" club between 2020-2025, leading to the fatal New Year's fire. Authorities are investigating the cause of the fire, which appears to have started from fireworks igniting the roof, and are examining construction materials, operating licenses, and fire safety measures. The couple who own the bar are being investigated for manslaughter, and another bar they own has been closed.
