BREAKING: A nightclub catches fire, incandescent candles mentioned by witnesses
Sources confirm that the following story has emerged from the international scene.
An employee of the nightclub which caught fire overnight from Saturday to Sunday in Kehl, Germany, blamed incandescent candles for the start of the fire. According to a testimony collected by BFMTV, flickering candles, of the same type as those involved in the murderous drama in Crans-Montana, set the fire towards the ceiling of the nightclub. “It was to the VIP when the bottles were sent, so the same situation which happened in Switzerland. The ceiling caught fire,” a nightclub employee told the channel on condition of anonymity. No victims but material damage. Several hundred people were evacuated overnight from this nightclub ravaged by flames near Strasbourg, a place frequented by many French people. The fire broke out around 3:45 a.m. and “then spread to the entire building,” police said in a statement. Around 750 people were inside the K Club at the time of the incident and were able to evacuate the premises. Three of them were taken care of by the emergency services.
