Currently, the central street in Caen is closed for the needs of this investigation.

And the Canton du Vallee is now undertaking an investigation.

And I will now hand over to Madame Beatrice Piot, who is the magistrate for the Valais canton.

The first point I would like to specify is that we are going to put everything into work to identify the circumstances of this drama.

A file has been opened for a fire to identify the circumstances which caused this dramatic situation to occur.

There are significant resources which have been put in place, first of all, them being medical services to identify the victims.

The resources have been called into play to also, as quickly as possible return bodies.

Well, this press conference continues, but this is where we say goodbye to our viewers on pbs.

And I must specify that currently we are favoring a fire and at no time is that question of any attack.

You will understand that currently I am not able to tell you more and that information of a personal nature will come to each member of the families of the people affected and concerned by this drama.

I would also like to specify that the forensic institute which has already been mandated to carry out research investigations into the circumstances of this drama.

I would like to repeat that the priority is really on medicine at the moment, where there are reinforcements that have been required, have been called from our neighboring cantons to help us to identify the people who have died.

I thank you for your attention, ladies and gentlemen.

This drama without us President, which has hit our canton.

We all our sympathy and our thoughts are with the victims of the people of this event which has taken place over recent hours.

This drama has affected our lives and once again is calling on our competencies, our skills in this area.

The State Council has decided this morning to call to identify this as a specific situation, as call as required by law to protect people.

This legal arrangement will enable us to coordinate different resources, significant resources over time.

Because we are faced with an event which will mobilize different forces for coordination which will take place over the longer time following this drama.

The consequences will have an impact on the different services, the different entities for several days.

Currently, by the end of the day, we have several hundred people who will be affected, will receive first aid care and will take part in the investigation.

We have also an international arrangements as well, because, as you can imagine, in a center like this, on New Year's Eve, several countries are involved, which will raise different diplomatic challenges as well.

We have therefore a significant situation to manage, which we must face up to.

Currently in the field, the firefighters are active, several police groups are working, as well as civil protection.

And we have here significantly, are thinking of the first responders, the people who provided help to their friends and those people who were faced with this drama, who did not lower their arms.

And also so the first responders, the first firefighters, the first police officers who arrived.

A scene of chaos, a dramatic scene where there was a complicated operation taking place.

I would like here to reassure the families of the victims, the victims and everybody in the chain of the emergency responders that we have a clearly defined chain where everybody has their place legally with the skills in this matter, respect.

So together, this commune will demonstrate solidarity, humanity, which are essential characteristics in the days and weeks to come.

Dear colleagues, a word now on the question of health of the hospital arrangements.

So the pre hospital services, all the CVS services have been fully mobilized.

This is a mobilization of all our resources which took place in the recent hours.

10 helicopters, 40ambulances, 150 responders, health responders, to whom, like my colleague has said we must congratulate them and thank them.

A hundred or so patients, injured patients, significant severe burns, significantly, have been directed to the Duvalier hospital and other hospitals.

The great majority of the patients, the injured people, have been sent to the Juvelli hospital.

The Juvelly hospital immediately decreed a disaster plan and has therefore been able to receive all of the injured.

Currently, the intensive care and the operating block in the Duvelli hospital are full.

We can happily count on solidarity from other cantons.

Some of the injured are directly been transferred to words, other hospitals, particularly university hospitals.

Some of the patients and are we stabilized within intensive care and will then be transferred towards the major university centres for specific care for severe burns.

We congratulate this solidarity between the cantons with the messages received from the government of other countries.

And once again, in this difficulty, Switzerland is demonstrating solidarity.

We also note that psychological support center has been opened for families in the hospital and is being put in place in the different sites, the different hospital sites in our canton.

Finally, to end, we are to launch an appeal, an appeal from the VALE government and from all of the forces involved.

If the population today wants to demonstrate support Wants to demonstrate their utility today.

You need to be careful in the hours that are coming.

We have the skills which are very used which are overused in our hospitals.

In addition to what my colleagues has said.

I would like before closing this press conference, I would like to remind you that there is a helpline.

This helpline is open for families, but also for all of those who are slightly injured.

All of those who have been witnesses or who were present at the place at the site.

Did it meet the security standards in terms of fire protection?

Because we have the impression that people were trapped, were truly trapped.

I will answer because this is an element for the inquiry.

You need to understand this drama took place just a few hours ago.

There are many significant resources that have been mobilized and currently it is too early to answer your question.

Based on the first elements of the investigation.

I would like to repeat that I am very sorry.

We know that it was a fire to start with.

I think that currently, as I speak to you, information which is capital is.

This is information that you need to keep for now.

But I cannot give you more information at this time.

I can exclude the idea of an attack because there was no explosion of.

How can we say There is a technical term.

A general embrasure which was at the hall.
