After Crans-Montana
First Viennese cult restaurant bans table fireworks
More and more details are becoming known following the devastating fire in Crans-Montana. Spray candles are said to have started the fire. Now the first Viennese restaurants are reacting to the catastrophe - table fireworks are banned there with immediate effect.
At least 40 people died in the flaming inferno in a bar in Crans-Montana. But the tragic incident didn't just make waves in Switzerland. Now the cult bar Bettel-Alm in Vienna has responded with a new ban.
Viennese bars set an example
"Due to current events, we have decided to ban spray candles (table fireworks) for bottle service until further notice," writes the Bettel-Alm on Facebook, referring to the deadly fire in Switzerland. The post continues: "Our thoughts are with the victims in Switzerland - thank you for your understanding."
"Showing solidarity"
In addition to the Bettel-Alm, the Aristo Bar in Grinzing also announced that it would no longer be offering spray candles in future. The bar wrote on Facebook: "Even though we love special moments and enjoy celebrating: in times like these, it is important for us to set an example of consideration and solidarity."
No patients for Austria for the time being
Meanwhile, medical care for the injured is being discussed in Switzerland. Austria has offered help, but the planned transfer of six patients to Vienna and Graz has been canceled. The reason: two people no longer require intensive care, four others will be transferred to France and Belgium on request. The Swiss authorities will decide whether further victims will be transferred to Austria.
Investigation into security measures
Investigations into the case are continuing at full speed. Conversion work, operating licenses, safety measures and escape and evacuation routes are being examined by the public prosecutor's office. Charges of involuntary manslaughter have not been ruled out, but concrete evidence is still lacking.
