Escape through hell: with chariots fleeing from the fire, glass cups

A massive fire in the area of Omiš and Lokve Rogoznice devastated the region, destroying 106 vehicles, 28 homes, and other structures. The incident resulted in one fatality and left residents and tourists traumatized. Dramatic footage showed a family attempting to flee the flames in their car, with parts of their vehicle catching fire and glass melting due to extreme heat. Another resident, Ante Brnadić, narrowly escaped with his son’s life, aided by family members who used a bottle of water to extinguish flames. Authorities are investigating potential arson, having detained four individuals suspected of involvement. The fire, which occurred overnight on August 13–14, has led to ongoing power outages and lingering stress among locals.

Firefighters have recovered four bodies from the ruins of a multi-unit residential building that was engulfed in flames in the Swiss town of Thusis on Thursday evening. The incident, which occurred in eastern Switzerland, has left five people unaccounted for, though one of them was found alive. Authorities confirmed that the cause of the fire is still under investigation. The blaze broke out around 20:00 local time on Thursday, quickly spreading through the structure, which included both residential units and a restaurant. Emergency services were called to the scene, and efforts to contain the fire continued throughout the night. By Friday afternoon, crews had managed to extinguish the flames, but the damage to the building was extensive. Among those who escaped the inferno were 14 individuals, eight of whom sustained injuries, two of which were considered serious. Police officials stated that the identification process for the deceased is ongoing. “Identifikasiya umrlih še ni zaključena,” they noted in a statement relayed by the French news agency AFP. The police department of the canton of Graubünden, where Thusis is located, is coordinating the recovery and identification efforts. Initial reports suggest that the victims were residents of the building, although further details remain unclear. Eyewitness accounts describe the intensity of the fire, with thick smoke rising rapidly from the building. Some residents reportedly fled before the flames reached their apartments, while others were trapped inside. A nearby restaurant, which operated within the complex, was also affected, though its exact role in the spread of the fire is yet to be determined. Local authorities have urged anyone with information related to the incident to come forward. Emergency responders worked tirelessly during the early hours of Friday to ensure the area was safe and to begin the search for missing persons. Despite the challenges posed by the destruction of the building, teams managed to locate four bodies by Saturday morning. The fifth person, who was found alive, is currently receiving medical attention. The condition of the injured is being monitored by hospital staff, and updates will be released as more information becomes available. Authorities have begun preliminary investigations into the cause of the fire. While no official explanation has been given, initial assessments suggest that the fire may have started due to electrical faults or other structural issues. Investigators are examining the site for evidence that could help determine the origin of the blaze. In addition, they are reviewing safety protocols and emergency response procedures to prevent similar incidents in the future. The community in Thusis has expressed shock and concern over the tragedy. Local leaders have called for support for the families of the victims and for increased awareness regarding fire safety measures in multi-use buildings. As the investigation continues, the focus remains on providing clarity for the affected families and ensuring that all necessary steps are taken to address the circumstances surrounding this devastating event.
