Milan, 17 Jan. (LaPresse) – Following the fire at Le Constellation bar in Crans-Montana, Switzerland, which caused 40 deaths and over 100 injuries, investigators have released an initial report stating that a large quantity of fireworks was found on the premises. Twenty-five pyrotechnic fountains were found in the rubble, while another 100 fountains were stored ready for use. ‘These fountains are non-metallic casings containing a pyrotechnic composition that generates sparks and flames and are designed to produce sparks and flames with an acoustic effect,’ reads the report, as reported by Bild.
