Cran-Montana Fire: New Photo Shows Moment Roof 'Catches'

New photos and testimonies are shedding light on the circumstances that led to the fatal fire at Le Constellation bar in Cran-Montana on New Year's Eve. The evidence suggests that the ignition was caused by fireworks in champagne bottles, which were too close to the store's roof. A photo shows a person wearing a mask and a woman wearing a helmet holding champagne bottles with fireworks shortly before the time of the fire. The exact time of ignition is confirmed by the screen of an iPhone shown in the photo, while the Fire Department was notified just four minutes later. The new images are expected to be crucial to the investigation.
