On the afternoon of January 2, local time, the Swiss canton of Valais prosecution said at a press conference that it is currently speculated that the “Constellation” bar fire in the Valais Cron-Montana was caused by some kind of fireworks stick inserted into the champagne bottle. Since the fireworks stick was too close to the ceiling, the fire spread rapidly, eventually causing a big fire. The governor of Valais said that the number of victims is still 40, but the lives of many of the injured are still in danger. The Valais police chief said the identities of 113 of the 119 injured have been confirmed.
