Today's January 2nd, 2026.
Here's what we're covering.
Authorities in Switzerland are calling the New Year's Eve fire that ripped through a pack bar in a ski resort one of the worst tragedies the country has ever experienced.
About 40 people were killed and 115 injured, many of them seriously.
The country's burn units have been overwhelmed to the point that some victims have been sent to other countries.
Officials say it's too early to comment on the cause of the fire,
but the blaze set off a flash over when surfaces in an enclosed space become hot enough to ignite almost simultaneously,
spreading flames with lethal speed.
At least one explosion followed.
I met a young man who was inside when it happened.
He rushed out when he saw the smoke so he was not harmed but he told me that his friend stayed inside and was injured and she was at the main hospital in the area and it's where he waited all day to find out how she was but they didn't let him see her.
