Authorities say dozens of people are presumed dead after a fire broke out at a resort town in Switzerland.
Terry Schultz reports more than 100 others suffered serious injuries.
Swiss authorities say the fire broke out in a bar at the Cromontana Ski Resort in the heart of the Swiss Alps about 1.30 a.m.
during New Year's Eve festivities.
Victims are believed to be from several different countries.
In a press conference,
officials downplayed early reports that an explosion had caused the tragedy and said it's too early to conclude whether appropriate fire safety measures were in place.
Firefighters and first responders were called in from around the region.
Local hospitals are completely full, authorities say,
and patients are being transferred to nearby facilities.
They're appealing to everyone in the area to be particularly careful to avoid accidents that would put more strain on medical and emergency services.
