Swiss Bar Fire Death Toll: All 40 Victims Identified, Managers Investigated

Narrative B

While restaurant fires are a widespread phenomenon, they are more to do with the owners than the system. The Morettis renovated Le Constellation, choosing its materials, layout and operating practices, which led to this incident. Prior inspections were infrequent, safety claims conflict with the law, and sparklers near flammable ceilings were tolerated. Jacques evidently cared little for the safety of those he was supposed to protect.
