Overview
- A fire broke out just after midnight on Friday and swept through a multi‑story building in Thusis, Graubünden that housed a Portuguese restaurant and residential flats.
- Nearly 100 firefighters from several local departments battled the blaze but a collapsed stairwell forced crews to cut open the roof with a crane to gain access.
- Fourteen people escaped the burning building and eight were injured; two were reported in serious condition and the injured were taken to hospitals in Chur, Thusis, Ilanz and Zurich.
- Police say five people remain missing and have secured the scene while working with the public prosecutor to investigate the cause of the fire.
- In a separate late‑Thursday incident in Schaffhausen, a kitchen fire in an apartment building injured eleven people, nine of whom were hospitalized including a police officer.
