At least 11 people are missing after a fire broke out at a vacation home hosting people with disabilities in eastern France, officials say
The fire at the building in Wintzenheim, a small town near the German border about 315 miles east of Paris, broke out at about 6:30 a.m. local time. The prefecture of Haut Rhin, where Wintzenheim is located, said “violent flames” engulfed about 300 square meters of the 500 square meter structure. Police said that nine bodies had been found. At least three were identified by drone, Wintzenheim Deputy Mayor Daniel Leroy said. Two more people are missing and feared dead.
The group had been visiting from Nancy, a city about 140 kilometers northwest of Wintzenheim, the prefecture of Haut Rhin said in a statement. Leroy said all the visitors were adults, believed to be between 27 and 50 years old. The building where they were staying “completely destroyed,” by the fire, and only the ground floor remained, he said.
